Direct Recycling of Mixed‐Oxide Cathodes: Balancing Cost, Performance and Environmental Trade‐Offs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
Direct regeneration routes for mixed‐oxide lithium‐ion battery cathodes are systematically compared using harmonized techno‐economic, electrochemical, and environmental metrics. Solid‐state, hydrothermal, molten salt, electrochemical, and chemical relithiation methods are benchmarked to identify performance, cost, and sustainability trade‐offs.

Rational Design of Lithium Sulphonamide Polymeric Cation Exchange Membranes for LiOH Production by Electro‐Electrodialysis

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Here the authors present the development of novel and inexpensive membranes for Li salt electro‐electrodialysis based on sulphonamide‐based polyelectrolyte for LiOH production by electrodialysis. The membranes are self‐standing Li‐selective and low‐fluorine content in comparison with state‐of‐the art benchmark (Nafion 117 membrane).

Sustainable Strategies for the Recycling of Sodium‐Ion Battery Cathodes Using Organic Acids

Battery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study introduces a novel sustainable hydrometallurgical process for recycling SIB cathodes. Optimized citric acid leaching exceeds the EU Ni recovery target. Subsequent oxalic acid precipitation selectively retrieves Ni and Mn, forming a Mn–Ni oxalate precursor for SIB cathode regeneration.
