"Rio Tinto will contribute know-how from its Critical Minerals and Technology Centre, which has developed a unique expertise in the extraction and processing of critical minerals such as lithium and SCANDIUM, as well as minerals from Canada, the United States, and other international sources to further drive localization of the lithium ion battery value chain."

SCANDIUM ... very interesting in connection with solid-state batteries: Canada, scandium, spinel, 3D structure, the best cathodes we have, high voltage ... does it all sound like Nano One Materials? ;)

Scandium, along with other specialty metals, has a clear role to play in each of these areas. One particularly promising area for scandium contributions is in a lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) battery. The cathode in this design substitutes manganese for cobalt, and supports a higher nickel content as well
