New smelting reduction process to recover Co, Ni, Mn, and Li simultaneously from Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from metals research institute SWERIM in Sweden reports on a smelting reduction process to recover cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium simultaneously from spent Li-ion batteries. The presence of slag may retain some Co, Ni, Mn, and Li in the slag due to the inherent nature of the slag. —Hu et al.

PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. We observe reversible planar gliding and microcracking along the (003) plane in a single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode. —Bi et al.
