Nissan and Waseda University testing jointly developed recycling process for electrified vehicle motors

Green Car Congress

and Waseda University have started testing in Japan of a jointly developed recycling process that efficiently recovers high-purity rare-earth compounds from electrified vehicle motor magnets. In addition, Nissan is recycling REEs by removing magnets from motors that do not meet production standards and returning them to suppliers.

3-year project to develop and test standards for describing the performance of automotive lidar

Green Car Congress

Despite their crucial role in both AVs and ADAS, however, lidars currently lack a standardized measure for describing their performance. This is likely to lead to marked variations in performance that would be impossible to quantify without standardized tests. The tests during the first year were led by Dr Jeremy P. —Jeremy Bos.

Stanford team proposes new design strategy for electrolytes for lithium metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Stanford University scientists have proposed a design strategy for electrolytes that enable anode-free Li metal batteries with single-solvent single-salt formations at standard concentrations. In our study, we use organic chemistry to rationally design and create new, stable electrolytes for these batteries.
