There is a phenomenon in journalism often referred to as “man bites dog”, where reports of unusual events feel more likely and common because they are more widely reported, but the reason why they are so widely reported is that they are rare enough to be newsworthy.
Britain’s first commercial lithium plant is up and running, but this is not the only mineral the growing EV sector will need.
The recent controversy over Donald Trump’s ambitions for the US to acquire Greenland as part of its territory has partly focused on the potential value of the critical minerals the island is believed to possess under its vast ice sheets.
Potassium titanate, which is a titanic acid compound, is used to improve the strength and durability of a range of components used within the automotive industry.
Barium titanate has an extremely important role in the electronics industry. The mineral has important dielectric properties and is very stable. As a ceramic compound, it is invaluable because its ability to work at different temperatures and hard-wearing nature enable it to be extremely versatile.
Having as many parts of your supply chain as close to each other as possible is a critical element of reducing costs, improving turnaround times and reducing vulnerabilities in your supply chain, whether you require titanates, electronic raw materials or critical components for batteries.
Batteries for electric vehicles are a major potential growth area for suppliers of raw materials needed to produce batteries, and one potential catalyst for the market is an ambitious grant that helps buyers save thousands on a new car.
The use of potassium titanate is extensive across a range of different industries and applications. But a new use may help resolve a major potential problem with an emerging industry, based on the artificial production of clean hydrogen.
It is now more important than ever to build resilience into your supply chain if you rely on chemical manufacturing of some kind for your business, as the global economy becomes increasingly volatile and disruption is only a matter of when, rather than if.
The development of battery technology has been a growing priority for researchers in recent years as the world has moved towards electric vehicles and the growing deployment of often rare minerals to produce the battery power needed for the most modern devices.
