Researchers designs new deep eutectic solvent to recover valuable elements from spent LNCM batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from Central South University in China has developed a new type of deep eutectic solvent (DES) that can efficiently leach metal elements from spent Ni-Co-Mn lithium-ion batteries (LNCM). Deep eutectic solvents are a new class of green electrolyte materials with properties analogous to that of ionic liquids (ILs).
