batteries – Go Beyond Discovery

Sensors and AI could help keep car batteries from exploding

“We need to move to green energy, but there are safety concerns associated with lithium-ion batteries.” New research could help change that.

The manufacturing and disposal of lithium ion batteries is a large and growing source of pollution from a sub-class of “forever chemicals.”

A new process can retrieve as much as 50% of the lithium in spent lithium-ion battery cathodes in as little as 30 seconds.

Fracking wastewater could be a new source of lithium, a key ingredient in batteries for everything from smartphones and electric cars.
