Q&A with Aqua Metals execs Steve Cotton and David Regan Regardless of the claims made in Facebook memes, Li-ion batteries are eminently recyclable, and current recycling methods cause far less environmental damage than the well-documented depredations of the petroleum industry. Their plan is to pump that into the bottom of the ocean.

Solid-state, lithium-sulfur, sodium batteries—would all of these still be using graphite in the anode? Sodium batteries, for example, may have great cold-weather performance. So to answer your original question, we’re getting closer to having those conversations. So the mix of graphite varies by manufacturer, by car model, etc.

This episode is brought to you by IEEE Xplore , the digital library with over 6 million technical documents and free search. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much. This is a whole conversation that’s being had, but that’s one avenue. This is like sieve water.
