Electra Battery Materials (ELBM) Stock Skyrockets on $30M Cobalt Refinery Funding – EV Metal Boom Ignites

Company Overview Electra Battery Materials describes itself as “a leader in advancing North America’s critical minerals supply chain” for electric vehicles electrabmc.com. Its flagship project is a cobalt sulfate refinery in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario – slated to become the continent’s first battery-grade cobalt plant. Cobalt sulfate is a key input for lithium-ion battery cathodes. Electra’s multi-phase plan is to convert raw minerals into refined battery chemicals and eventually recycle used batteries into fresh materials electrabmc.com electrabmc.com. To diversify feedstock, Electra is testing domestic cobalt sources: in Q2 it launched metallurgical assays of material from the Iron Creek deposit in Idaho

Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage

Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage

Solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte and lithium-metal anodes, offering 50–100% higher energy density than today’s Li‑ion and 1,000+ cycles with about 95% capacity retention, with Toyota targeting 750 miles per charge and 10-minute charging by 2027–2028. Lithium-sulfur batteries have a theoretical energy density above 500 Wh/kg, and a recent all-solid-state Li‑S cell demonstrated around 25,000 cycles with 80% capacity retention, though energy density still needs improvement. Sodium-ion batteries today run around 160–175 Wh/kg, CATL claims 175 Wh/kg with over 10,000 cycles and operation from −40°C to +70°C, and Chery launched the first Na‑ion EV in 2023 with mass production
