NEWS RELEASE
Rice lab finds faster, cleaner way to extract lithium from battery waste
The "white gold" of clean energy, lithium is a key ingredient in batteries large and small, from those powering phones and laptops to grid-scale energy storage systems. Though relatively abundant, the silvery-white metal could soon be in short supply due to a complex sourcing landscape impacted by the electric vehicle boom, net-zero goals and geopolitical factors. Valued at over $65 billion in 2023, the lithium-ion battery global market is expected to grow by over 23% in the next eight years, likely heightening existing challenges in lithium supply.
