6 FAQs about [Amount of antimony for energy storage]
Why is antimony a good material?
While antimony's cosmetic status has waned over the past five millennia, the metalloid's ability to resist heat and corrosion, make stronger lead alloys, produce clearer glass for high-tech devices, and store renewable energy has created new uses for the ancient metal.
Is antimony a mineral?
Antimony is not a mineral, it is an element. The most common mineral containing antimony is stibnite. Despite its lack of fanfare, antimony is a critical mineral that plays an important role in the mass storage of renewable energy.
Are lithium-antimony-lead batteries suitable for stationary energy storage applications?
However, the barrier to widespread adoption of batteries is their high cost. Here we describe a lithium–antimony–lead liquid metal battery that potentially meets the performance specifications for stationary energy storage applications.
Where is antimony used today?
"Today, antimony is used in lead-acid storage batteries for backup power and transportation; in chemicals, ceramics, and glass; in flame-retardant materials; and in heat stabilizers and plastics," according to the USGS.
Can antimony be used in next-generation batteries?
While lead-acid battery usage is expected to decline as electric motors take the place of ICE engines in the vehicles traveling global highways, antimony is finding its way into new applications in next-generation batteries that can efficiently store electricity at the grid scale.
Why is antimony not available in America?
In 2020, there was no domestically mined production of antimony in America—meaning the U.S. relied on other countries, primarily China, for its antimony supply. In the past, China has imposed restrictions on the exports of antimony-based products to the U.S., which reduced availability and increased prices.
