E3 Lithium’s Collaborations with Two Universities Receive Federal NSERC Funding
Highlights:
-
E3 Lithium McMaster University and theUniversity of Alberta on research projects that have been awarded Alliance Missions Grants forCritical Minerals Research from theNatural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) -
McMaster University is conducting research aimed at maintaining and enhancing lithium concentrations in recovered subsurface lithium brine resources, and theUniversity of Alberta is exploring ways to enhance the performance of fast charging lithium-ion batteries -
E3 Lithium is providing data, resources and advisory services to support the research proposals and once complete, will identify ways to incorporate the data into its development and commercialization plans
McMaster University’s proposal includes developing enhanced brine recovery mechanisms that are aimed at maintaining and enhancing lithium concentrations from subsurface brine resources during reservoir production. The outcome includes the potential of improving the economic viability of sustainable lithium production in the
The University of Alberta’s proposal involves developing innovative methods for producing high-quality battery-grade graphite from natural graphite to enhance the performance of fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. The main focus of the project is to understand graphite's role in lithium-ion batteries and enhancing its electrochemical properties.
“This is an incredible opportunity for
