Upcycling of materials should be the priority for EV batteries

Envirotec Magazine

Professor Slater of the University of Birmingham said: “The challenge is no longer about recycling. DRX materials are seen as a promising alternative to the regular layered structure of conventional cathode materials, as they increase the capacity of the cathode, allowing development of higher energy density rechargable Lithium ion batteries.
