Research found a more effective way to improve the output of autonomous power sources used to power vital mining equipment in remote or underground locations.
Prior to this development, less than 10% of the melting temperatures of the 200,000-plus inorganic compounds that have been identified on earth were known.
In a paper published in the journal Nature, the researchers explain that the new battery architecture uses aluminum and sulphur as its two electrode materials.
To move from promise to action, mining companies must be set up to respond to ESG opportunity, challenges and risks which requires operating models that facilitate accountability, visibility and collaboration.
