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

Research on thermochemical water splitting cycles largely began in the 1960s and 1970s and involved nuclear reactors and solar collectors as the energy sources, the team notes in their paper. Because of the requirement of high-temperature heat sources, these types of cycles have been investigated for use with solar concentrators.

Promising EV Trends to Lookout For in 2023

Get Electric Vehicle

The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. Second EV batteries (Used EV batteries that are no longer used in cars) are used at public EV charging stations, fleet depots, commercial buildings, and other EV charging locations for local energy storage.
