Researchers unlock potential means to reduce reliance on rare metals
A research group, utilizing inexpensive elements, has demonstrated the feasibility of synthesizing electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). If explored further, this method could reduce industrial reliance on rare metals such as cobalt and nickel.
Details of their results were published in ACS Applied Energy Materials on April 11, 2022.
Rare metals are widely used because they form a suitable crystal structure for LIBs’ key component—cathode materials. In these materials, lithium is easily and reversibly extracted/inserted.
Scientists have long sought ways to incorporate other inexpensive elements into the crystal structure. Yet, just like only a certain amount of salt dissolves into water, the solubility of other elements is limited.

Oxygen absorbing material may allow us to breathe underwater
Using specially synthesized crystalline materials, scientists from the University of Southern Denmark have created a substance that is able to absorb and store oxygen in such high concentrations that just one bucketful is enough to remove all of the oxygen in a room. The substance is also able to release the stored oxygen in a controlled manner when it is needed, so just a few grains could replace the need for divers to carry bulky scuba tanks.
