In addition to its military uses, antimony is increasingly being used as a primary ingredient in liquid-metal batteries that can store electricity at the grid-scale, a key enabler to the transition to intermittent renewable energy sources.
As a result, it appears that adding antimony to the electrode''s active material effectively reduces capacitance loss. Antimony has been widely investigated as an addition in newer energy storage sources, such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), liquid metal batteries, and fuel cells. Antimony is hypothesized to
Antimony is a poor conductor of heat, an attribute that lends itself to this semi-metal''s most common use, as an ingredient to make clothing, mattresses and other products flame resistant. While making work clothes and household items safer and less likely to catch fire is a relatively new use for antimony, humans have been using antimony for other...

The investment round was led by Reliance New Energy Solar Ltd, a unit of Reliance Industries Limited; Paulson & Co. Inc., a group that includes Ambri''s largest shareholder, Bill Gates; and new investors, including Fortistar, Goehring & Rozencwajg Associates, Japan Energy Fund, and others.
The work explores novel dual-ion batteries that use an antimony-containing anode and a graphitic cathode. The results contribute to the development of new batteries that may involve anode materials incorporating alloying elements.
But people still always want their devices to last even longer, or go further on a charge, so researchers work night and day to boost the power a given size battery can hold. Rare, but widely publicized, incidents of overheating or combustion in lithium-ion batteries have also highlighted the importance of safety in battery technology.

Among various anode materials, elements that alloy and dealloy with lithium are assumed to be prospective in bringing higher capacities and increasing the energy density of DIBs. In this work, antimony in the form of a composite with carbon (Sb−C) is evaluated as an anode material for DIB full cells for the first time.
Material Synthesis: Antimony (325 mesh, 99.5 % purity, Johnson Matthey Electronics) and graphite (Sigma Aldrich, 282863, <20 μm) were mixed in a 7 : 3 weight ratio. A 5 g of the mixture were loaded into a magneto-ball mill with four stainless steel balls (25.4 mm in diameter), and the ball to powder ratio was 52.8 : 1.
The results contribute to the development of new batteries that may involve anode materials incorporating alloying elements. Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are attracting attention due to their high operating voltage and promise in stationary energy storage applications.
