I was literally just about to post the same article here! I doesn't say how much extra lithium is needed. But considering the lithium would replace one of the largest components of the battery, it will likely be many times more than the amount of lithium currently needed in existing battery technology. If this comes to market, it would be huge news for the lithium industry.
Not to rain on your parade, but if I am not mistaken, these new batteries will not require that much extra lithium. Here is a quote from the article:
The battery essentially swaps out a common battery anode material, graphite, for very thin, high-energy lithium-metal foil, which can hold more ions — and, therefore, provide more energy capacity.
The pic that they show implies little extra lithium... BUt a little more is better than nothing... If only NMX share could start going up, I'd be quite in a good mood...
Nevertheless, any improvement in lithium batteries is good for us. But I would'nt want to be too much invested in graphite in a couple of years...
Hope springs eternal!
