(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 29-Jan-2024 — / EuropaWire / — IMERYS S.A. (EPA: NK), a French multinational company which specialises in the production and processing of industrial minerals, has officially announced the designated locations for its EMILI project, a key initiative focused on lithium extraction and battery production.
Intercalation-based chemistry studies carried out during this period had shown the inclusion of ions or molecules into a host material, without damaging the host materials structure, could change its electronic and optical properties. 48, 49 Importantly, studies during this period also revealed the intercalation of lithium into different materials had the potential to
Lithium-ion batteries are a popular power source for clean technologies like electric vehicles, due to the amount of energy they can store in a small space, charging capabilities, and ability to remain effective after hundreds, or even thousands, of charge cycles. These batteries are a crucial part of current efforts to replace gas-powered cars that emit CO 2
The demand for battery raw materials has surged dramatically in recent years, driven primarily by the expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) and the growing need for energy storage solutions. Understanding the key raw materials used in battery production, their sources, and the challenges facing the supply chain is crucial for stakeholders across
The announcement by the Paris-based raw materials group Imerys of its intention to enter the lithium mining business in Europe received widespread international media coverage. Deposits of the battery metal have been found in central France, in the Allier department, where Imerys has been mining kaolin for ceramic production. 34,000 tons of the
Two materials currently dominate the choice of cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries: lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which is relatively inexpensive, and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) or nickel-cobalt-alumina (NCA), which are convincing on the market due to their higher energy density, i.e. their ability to store electrical energy

How lithium-ion batteries work. Like any other battery, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery is made of one or more power-generating compartments called cells.Each cell has essentially three components: a positive electrode (connected to the battery''s positive or + terminal), a negative electrode (connected to the negative or − terminal), and a chemical
Lithium-ion battery recycling: La French Fab innovates. For the last two years, French player Eramet has been engaged in research with Suez and the German player BASF on an innovative lithium-ion battery recycling process.

The global resources of key raw materials for lithium-ion batteries show a relatively concentrated distribution (Sun et al., 2019, Calisaya-Azpilcueta et al., 2020, Egbue and Long, 2012). Nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese and graphite are all key materials for battery composition and technology.
A project was announced in Germany in early June and the Strasbourg-based company Viridian Lithium plans to open the first French lithium factory for batteries there by the end of 2025. It will source ores from Latin America and aims to produce 100,000 tons of lithium hydroxide by 2030.
Lithium production today is dominated by just a handful of countries: Australia, which has 20% of the world's reserves of "white gold", and Argentina, Chile and Bolivia, which have 60%. China, on the other hand, was an early investor in refining and controls 17% of the world's lithium production.

The rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in emerging markets is pouring huge reserves into, and triggering broad interest in the battery sector, as the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs)is driving the explosive growth of EV LIBs.
"The most successful ones are in Finland. Lithium production could start in 2024 thanks to the exploitation of a small mining site located about 600 km north of Helsinki," explained Christian Hocquard, a geologist-economist and co-author of a book on lithium energy transition.
A look at neighboring France shows that this is not the case. The announcement by the Paris-based raw materials group Imerys of its intention to enter the lithium mining business in Europe received widespread international media coverage.
