Japan has developed a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries "At the heart of the process is a clever chemical tweak; instead of using standard sodium hydroxide, the team swapped in recovered lithium hydroxide during recycling, which is a white powder. This helps convert battery waste, known as ‘black mass’, into high-purity lithium that can be reused in new batteries. Even better, the process isn’t just efficient, it’s better for the environment too, because researchers say it can cut carbon emissions by around 40 percent compared to conventional recycling techniques." https://tech.supercarblondie.com/japan-recovers-up-to-90-of-lithium-from-used-ev-batteries/ #Recycling #Energy #Lithium #Batteries #GreenEnergy #FossilFuels #Climate #ClimateDiary #CO2
