The race to electrify transport does not depend solely on selling more electric cars, it also requires solving a less visible part of the chain: how to transform critical minerals into valid materials to manufacture batteries without triggering costs, energy consumption and industrial waste. At this point is a new research of the MIT, published in Science, that proposes an alternative to extract lithium from the espodumena, the rock ore most use…
