The 1864 discovery of lithium might finally be about to bear fruit. Cornish Lithium, a company set up by former investment banker Jeremy Wrathall in 2016, is working on plans to extract
Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries are considered the next great leap forward toward higher energy densities [].Nevertheless, the severe risk of lithium dendrite formation, potentially causing a short circuit of the cell, and the continuous electrolyte decomposition at the electrode|electrolyte interface have so far hampered the commercial exploitation of such batteries—with one little
Lithium-sulphur. Lithium-sulphur technology has the potential to offer cheaper, lighter batteries that also offer safety advantages. After initially finding use in niche markets such as satellites, drones and military vehicles, the technology has the potential to transform aviation in the long term. Electric aircraft offering short-range
