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 absence of a slag allows a nearly 100% recovery of Co, Ni, and Mn in the formed alloy and a nearly 100% recovery of lithium in the flue dust.

Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Developing cheap electrocatalysts and electrodes that can sustain seawater splitting without chloride corrosion could address the water scarcity issue. Water splitting with electricity—electrolysis—is a simple and old idea: a power source connects to two electrodes placed in water. to 1 A/cm 2 ) over 1,000 h.
