New method could transform battery recycling
New method could transform battery recycling New research has developed a two-step flash Joule heating-chlorination and oxidation (FJH-ClO) process that rapidly separates lithium and transition metals from spent lithium-ion batteries. The FJH-ClO process provides an acid-free, energy-saving alternative to conventional recycling techniques, reducing energy consumption, chemical usage, and costs. The method achieves high yields and […]
