This technology has the potential to partially replace Lithium as an energy storage medium.
Top 10 countries by lithium supply:
Portugal 10,000 tonnes
Zimbabwe 23,000 tonnes
Brazil 64,000 tonnes
United States 118,000 tonnes
Canada 180,000 tonnes
Argentina 850,000 tonnes
Australia 970,000 tonnes
China 3,500,000 tonnes
Bolivia 5,400,000 tonnes (estimated)
Chili 7,500,000 tonnes
Chili, Bolivia, and the US have the largest known reserves of Lithium.
I’ll bet the rare-earth materials of these exotic new batteries will be even rarer than Lithium and will come only from mines in China. Trade Name: Unobtainium
