Researchers in Korea propose graphene/Ni foam as Li metal storage medium for advanced batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Korea have developed three-dimensional monolithic corrugated graphene on nickel foam electrode as a Li metal storage framework in carbonate electrolytes. Therefore, hybrid engineering to prevent dendritic Li growth and increase the coulombic efficiency in highly reactive electrolytes is essential. —Kang et al.

New smelting reduction process to recover Co, Ni, Mn, and Li simultaneously from Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

A team from metals research institute SWERIM in Sweden reports on a smelting reduction process to recover cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium simultaneously from spent Li-ion batteries. The absence of a slag allows a nearly 100% recovery of Co, Ni, and Mn in the formed alloy and a nearly 100% recovery of lithium in the flue dust.
