Rethinking Sustainable Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective examines sustainability across the entire battery lifecycle, from mining and manufacturing to use and end of life. Twelve principles for ‘green’ batteries are outlined, and it is argued that joint industrial, academic, and policy efforts are essential to building a truly sustainable energy future. Abstract Batteries will play a pivotal

Grave to Cradle: A Direct Recycling Approach for Over‐Discharged LiFePO4 Electric Vehicle Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The change in the LiFePO4 (LFP) material from grave to cradle. The material is delaminated with water, before undergoing ball milling and a relithiation‐carbothermal treatment. The final step shows the fully healed LFP remanufactured as a new cathode. The purple represents LiFePO4, the light purple FePO4, black, and dark grey—the graphite and carbons ...
