Researchers at Virginia Tech have demonstrated a green and more sustainable manufacturing method for LIBs in which no hazardous organic solvent is used during electrode manufacturing and recycling. Given that the global lithium-ion battery production capability is ~400 GWh, humongous amount of NMP is needed. —Li et al.
