With the rising importance of lithium in the electric mobility and storage revolution, the geothermal industry is set to become an important participant in sustainable lithium production in Europe. Li is special in many ways. It is the lightest metal on earth, very soft and can be cut with a knife. It has several high-value applications, from ceramics and glass to medical treatment. It is also an essential part of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems and is the basis for future clean mobility and 100% renewable energy systems.

The team of Jianjun Liu, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Hongjin Fan, a professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, collaborated on the design of two-dimensional chalcogenide molybdenum disulfide in-plane catalytic structures and made great progress.

Li-ion battery co-inventor, John Goodenough has now filed a new patent for glass battery which he claims can help in overcoming the price barrier associated with electric vehicles (EVs). According to foreign media reports, a team led by John Goodenough submitted a patent application for a new battery that uses glass as a key component. And the new glass battery promises to accelerate the shift away from internal combustion engines because it will deliver a significant increase in storage capacity.
