Today, antimony is used across numerous industrial sectors, resulting in diffuse consumption compared to some other critical materials. As of 2020, the leading uses of antimony in the United States were in flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, as a key alloying material for strength (e.g., shielding materials), and antifriction alloys.
Among various anode materials, elements that alloy and dealloy with lithium are assumed to be prospective in bringing higher capacities and increasing the energy density of DIBs. In this work, antimony in the form of a composite with carbon (Sb−C) is evaluated as an anode material for DIB full cells for the first time.
Expanded uses for antimony contribute to its inclusion as a critical material, particularly with respect to battery technology. Antimony has become increasingly prevalent in electrical and energy related technologies. Over the past decade, antimony appeared in over a thousand U.S. electrical applications patents.
produce antimony in the United States was the Stibnite Gold mine in the panhandle of Idaho, which ceased production in the mid-1990s.
During World War II, antimony was key to U.S. production of tungsten steel and the hardening of lead bullets used in combat; at the time up to 90 percent of antimony demand was fulfilled through domestic production.
Antimony (Sb) is one such metal of interest that has wide applications in the modern industrialized societies ( Qin et al., 2017, Segura-Salazar and Brito-Parada, 2021 ). In 2018, the United States (US) government classified Sb as a critical raw material (CRM) ( Perpetua Resources, 2021, Perpetua Resources, 2021 ).
