Researchers present two-step recycling approach for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Universität Stuttgart, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, and Universität des Saarlandes have developed a two-step recycling approach for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (lithium ASSBs). Within such ASSBs, the use of solid-electrolytes like garnet-type Li 6.5

DOE researchers suggest solid-state batteries may not be a safety slam-dunk; thermodynamic models evaluate solid-state and Li-ion safety

Green Car Congress

Recent battery fires have renewed investigation of the safety of Li-ion batteries. One possible path to battery safety is a solid-state battery that replaces the volatile and flammable liquid electrolyte with a non-flammable solid electrolyte. A paper on their work appears in Joule. Bates et al.

New efficient one-pot process for recycling metals from spent Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from the Korean government-funded research institute The Institute for Basic Science has developed a one-pot liquid extraction process that uses rotating, concentric-liquid reactors to stir, separate, and capture metal ions from spent lithium-ion batteries. —Quintana et al. Quintana et al. Cybulski, O.,

MIT, Brookhaven team develops simple method for stabilizing interfaces in solid-state lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Solid-state batteries could potentially not only deliver twice as much energy for their size, they also could virtually eliminate the fire hazard associated with today’s lithium-ion batteries. But overcoming the instabilities that arise at the interface has been far more challenging.

Researchers show that inherent lithium ions in bioderived borate polymer enhance extreme fast charging capability in graphite anodes

Green Car Congress

In order to enable fast-charging ability in batteries, researchers have attempted to enhance the mass transfer of electrolytes and charge transfer in electrodes, with extensive research carried out on the former compared to the latter. Generally, when charging surpasses rate of intercalation, Li + plating occurs on graphite electrodes.

Fortum, BASF, and Nornickel sign cooperation agreement on Li-ion battery recycling

Green Car Congress

Fortum, BASF, and Nornickel have signed a letter of intent to plan a Li-ion battery recycling cluster in Harjavalta, Finland, serving the electric vehicle market. This would enable a successful “closed loop” cycle to re-use the critical metals present in used batteries. Earlier post.). Earlier post.).
