MIT’s New Lithium Process Could Reshape Battery Supply Chains
MIT researchers and startup Rock Zero have developed a low-temperature lithium extraction process using ammonium fluoride that cuts refining costs by roughly 40% while producing almost no waste. Getting lithium out of hard rock is one of the dirtiest and most energy-intensive parts of battery manufacturing. A team at MIT may have found a way…
