Commercialization of antimony energy storage batteries

Could antimony be a key component in battery technology?

The future increase in demand for antimony lies in its potential to become a crucial component in battery technology. Antimony’s unique property as a heat retardant is essential in preventing thermal runaway in batteries, making it a crucial element in the development of effective energy storage systems.

How much power will Perpetua's antimony production produce?

The minimum commitment of Perpetua’s antimony production for Ambri’s battery manufacturing is expected to power over 13 Gigawatt hours of battery capacity, which is equivalent to over 8 times the total additions to the entire U.S. energy storage market in 2020.

Can antimony be used as a battery metal?

Antimony is key for the transition to a low carbon future. As a glass clarifier in solar panels or as a metal strengthener to wind turbine components, antimony plays an important role in producing clean energy. More recently, antimony is gaining recognition as a battery metal for its role in “liquid metal battery” technology.

What is Ambri's liquid metal battery with antimony?

Ambri’s liquid metal battery with Antimony makes the transition to a 100% renewable energy grid possible. Watch our webinar to learn more about antimony and the critical role it plays in America’s energy, technology and defense future.

Is antimony a critical metal for electric vehicles?

Media attention seems focused on the battery metals required for electric vehicles (“EVs”), including lithium, cobalt, graphite, and rare earths, but antimony was one of the few metals that is on all of the critical metals lists across Australia, Canada, China, the EU, Japan, and the USA. The importance of antimony

Does Ambri have antimony?

Perpetua’s Stibnite Gold Project, located in central Idaho, will provide Ambri with antimony from the only responsible and domestically mined source of the critical mineral in the U.S. Ambri, a U.S. company, has developed an antimony-based, low-cost liquid metal battery for the stationary, long-duration, daily cycling energy storage market.
