Researchers have developed a new technique for recycling batteries called the FJH-ClO process. This method quickly separates lithium and other metals from old lithium-ion batteries.
The FJH-ClO process saves energy and does not use harsh chemicals. It is an alternative to traditional recycling that can be wasteful and costly. By using heat and air, the process separates valuable materials more effectively.
This new approach could help meet the growing demand for batteries, especially for electric vehicles and electronics.
