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). The leaching rates of Ni, Co, Mn, and Li can all reach 99% under the conditions of T=140°C, t=10 min and no reductant.

Researchers report first direct observation of anionic redox in a lithium-rich battery material

Green Car Congress

Conventional Li-ion batteries work by cationic redox, when a metal ion changes its oxidation state as lithium is inserted or removed. Within this insertion framework, only one lithium-ion can be stored per metal ion. Lithium-rich cathodes, however, can store much more. —Li et al.

PATHION develops new LiRAP-based solid-state electrolytes for Li-sulfur and sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

At the Spring 2015 Materials Research Conference in San Francisco earlier this month, PATHION presented two new derivative superionic solid-state electrolytes built upon LiRAP (Lithium-Rich Anti-Perovskite). PATHION is working on a derivative for Li-sulfur batteries as well as a derivative that could be applied in a sodium-ion battery.
