Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The company is building a new plant in Nevada, and aims to be processing 10,000 tons of black mass (equivalent to about 150,000 EV battery packs) annually by 2025. That’s not to say that over the coming years, as we build a brand-new closed-loop recycling industry, that that doesn’t start to verticalize a little bit more.

Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

Caltech engineers devise new thermochemical cycle for water splitting for H2; recyclable, non-toxic, non-corrosive and at lower temperatures

Green Car Congress

The first thing postdoctoral scholar and lead author Bingjun Xu and graduate student Yashodhan Bhawe did was to perform a thermodynamic analysis demonstrating that it is unlikely, if not impossible, to split water with a two-step cycle where there is complete conversion between the oxidized and reduced forms at below 1,000 °C.

Haldor Topsøe ECO-Jet wins award; reducing soot, HC and heavy metal emissions from ships powered by bunker fuel

Green Car Congress

The ECO-Jet process also removes other harmful substances from the exhaust of engines using bunker fuel, for instance poisonous hydrocarbons and metals including vanadium, iron, nickel, silicon and sodium. The process has interesting, environmental perspectives and, for Topsøe, promising commercial perspectives as well.
