Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

The pair argue for the selection of chemistries that have a minimum footprint in nature and that are more readily recycled or integrated into a full circular economy. We need to rethink the processes, and move towards more sustainable energy harvesting and storage technologies that become part of a circular economy. Click to enlarge.
