Researchers develop efficient and mild lithium extracting strategy based on potential controllable redox couples

Green Car Congress

Recycling lithium-ion batteries is difficult. The recovery of lithium of a quality high enough to be used again is complicated and expensive. Most recycling processes are targeted at extracting the lithium from cathodes (where most of the lithium in discharged batteries is located). Chang et al. Resources Chang, X.,

Roskill: Niobium industry looking for a future beyond steel; Li-ion batteries a possibility

Green Car Congress

Consumption has benefited from the restructuring of the Chinese steel industry and from the new regulations prescribing stricter standards for construction. The maximum power output and minimum charging time of a lithium-ion battery depend on both ionic and electronic transport. The paper (Griffith et al. ) Griffith, K.J.,
