Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering, is using an aluminum-foil-based anode in a solid-state Li-ion battery to create batteries with higher energy density and greater stability. The new battery system is detailed in an open-access paper in Nature Communications.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.
