Engineers at the University of California San Diego and the University of California Los Angeles have developed an energy-efficient approach to regenerate Li-ion battery cathode materials (using LiCoO 2 as a model material) by hydrothermal treatment of cycled electrode particles followed by short annealing.

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new approach to cobalt-free Li-ion cathodes that avoids some of the problems with other low-cobalt cathode approaches. To make use of the best out of each of these three ions, the industry is now based on LiNi 1-y-z Mn y Co z O 2 with (1-y-z) 0.2). Croy, Brandon R.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have improved their recycling process that regenerates degraded cathodes from spent lithium-ion batteries. Zheng Chen, a professor of nanoengineering who is affiliated with the Sustainable Power and Energy Center at UC San Diego, led the project.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched its first lithium-ion battery recycling center, called the ReCell Center. University and national laboratory collaborators will use state-of-the-art R&D tools at their home institutions to develop new methods for separating and reclaiming valuable materials from spent EV batteries.
