Rinse and Repeat: An Easy New Way to Recycle Batteries is Here

We are rapidly running out of the ingredients for lithium-ion batteries, but demand is only accelerating. We need to reuse the valuable components including nickel and cobalt, but recycling batteries is difficult. Berkeley Lab scientists have invented a material that solves these issues, making the process to extract the ingredients for reuse easy, economical, and environmentally friendly.
