Por qué importa para los materiales
Because a grid battery does not have to be light, it can use chemistries a car cannot: iron phosphate, sodium-ion, vanadium flow, even iron-air. Each choice moves demand to a different mine.

Copper
The reddish metal that carries electricity better than anything except silver, and which humans have been smelting…

Graphite
Pure carbon in soft, slippery sheets — the same stuff as pencil lead — and the material that holds the lithium when a…

Lithium
A soft, silvery metal so light it floats on water, and the element that lets a rechargeable battery store a lot of…

Phosphate Rock
Rock full of the element phosphorus — the P in fertiliser, and now the P in the LFP batteries used in most new…

Vanadium
A metal that makes rebar dramatically stronger in tiny doses, and that can also store electricity dissolved in a tank…

Aluminium
A light silvery metal made by passing an enormous electric current through dissolved bauxite — which is why people…
