UCSD researchers improve method to recycle and renew used cathodes from Li-ion batteries via eutectic molten salts

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have improved their recycling process that regenerates degraded cathodes from spent lithium-ion batteries. The new process is safer and uses less energy than their previous method ( earlier post ) in restoring cathodes to their original capacity and cycle performance. Energy Mater.
