Lithium metal will play a key role in providing a sustainable solution for one of the world\u2019s biggest problems: energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLithium metal has the ability to solve this problem, offering a clean and durable power source. Let\u2019s explain further, thanks to the experts at Lithium Metal Australia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lithium metal vs lithium-ion batteries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLithium has been used in batteries for decades. In recent years, we\u2019ve made great advancements with lithium-ion batteries, having been able to develop electric vehicles and home energy storage systems thanks to this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut experts are increasingly becoming aware that lithium-ion batteries can\u2019t be advanced much further. This is where discoveries about lithium metal batteries are showing that they could be the sustainable solution for future energy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A higher energy density than other lithium batteries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the promising facts about lithium metal batteries is that they\u2019re far more energy dense than lithium-ion batteries. They can store 50% more energy per unit of mass than conventional lithium-ion batteries. This means huge progress for sustainable items such as electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne industry leader in lithium metal battery production, QuantumScape, has found that their lithium metal battery for EVs can increase vehicle range by more than 80%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better storage of renewable energy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAnother way that lithium metal will provide a sustainable solution for energy needs lies in renewable energy storage. Right now, home solar battery uptake in Australia is surging, with over 180,000 homes or businesses with a home storage battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut lithium metal could make home storage batteries for renewable energy, like solar and wind power, more effective and accessible. With the higher energy density of lithium metal batteries, home storage batteries could theoretically hold 50% more power, ensuring there\u2019s plenty of renewable energy stored even during peak times.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCreating more affordable sustainable products<\/strong> And finally, with the increased energy density of lithium metal batteries, there\u2019s a good chance that lithium metal will create more affordable sustainable products. Electric vehicles, for example, are expected to become much cheaper once lithium metal batteries are commercially available, and electric aircrafts are also on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSustainable energy is something we\u2019re all looking towards in a bid to decarbonise the planet. Lithium Metal Australia is one of the country\u2019s leaders in lithium metal as a sustainable energy solution. We extract lithium metal in a responsible way, with the aim of decarbonisation of the planet. Our processes of lithium extraction are clean and efficient, using the most energy- and cost-efficient process to produce lithium metal \u2013 carbothermic reduction.
