Battery Parts Can Be Recycled Without Crushing or Melting, Saving Valuable Raw Materials

Reprinted from Good News Network website...

Researchers in Finland have discovered that electrodes in lithium batteries containing cobalt can be reused following a special process.

In comparison to traditional recycling, which typically extracts metals from crushed batteries by melting or dissolving them, the new process—which newly saturates the electrodes with lithium—saves valuable raw materials, and likely also energy.

The rechargeable batteries problem
