Researchers designs new deep eutectic solvent to recover valuable elements from spent LNCM batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from Central South University in China has developed a new type of deep eutectic solvent (DES) that can efficiently leach metal elements from spent Ni-Co-Mn lithium-ion batteries (LNCM). With environment-friendly and degradable characteristics, B-DES is a green leaching agent. —Luo et al. doi: 10.1039/D2GC01431A.
