Sustainable Recycling of Critical Materials in Lithium-ion Batteries

Описание к видео Sustainable Recycling of Critical Materials in Lithium-ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are relied on globally for energy storage, the electrification of transportation, and consumer devices. Concerns over the life cycle and span of Li-ion batteries have grown as their use has increased dramatically over the years including raw material extraction and disposal. Production of new batteries is both costly and hazardous, and improper disposal can be detrimental to the environment. Furthermore, spent Li-ion batteries present an untapped opportunity for critical mineral recovery. Improving the efficacy and scale of the chemical recycling of such batteries would contribute to a more circular economy, decrease the need for new mineral extraction, and improve the safety of battery disposal. This webinar, hosted by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable, will provide an overview of the current battery recycling infrastructure, discuss needs and concerns of the industry, and share innovative chemistry research being explored in this space.
