This new process, which was developed by researchers at two universities in China as well as the National Engineering ...

Glycine is produced through chemical synthesis or extraction from natural sources. The fluctuation in raw material prices, such as ammonia and chloroacetic acid, can affect production costs and market ...

To make this possible, the researchers combined two innovative ideas: using tiny “micro batteries” to break down the battery materials and adding the amino acid glycine to help extract the metals.

Such claims don't always scale up, but it brings hope for an even higher rate of recovered lithium for new EV batteries—and ...

These help to break up the spent cathode material from the batteries—lithium ... and the amino acid glycine in a neutral liquid. This results in the deposition of a thin, solid layer of iron ...

The Chinese researchers used an innovative method for studying the recycling process. In situ primary battery effect, based ...

These help to break up the spent cathode material from the batteries-lithium-coated nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM). The NCM particles are mixed with an iron(II) salt, sodium oxalate, and the ...
