We sometimes forget that Li-ion #batteries were preceded by technologies and chemistries such as #leadacid, #nickelcadmium, and #nickelmetalhydride batteries. Some have been proscribed with good reason, while others are still in use

Some of the drivers that have contributed to an increase in #battery#recycling:
✅ legislation
✅ circular economy approaches in contrast to simple disposal
✅ the rise of second-owned markets
✅ demand for affordable energy in developing countries

Our partners @Tevva_EV will be speaking at the International Summit on Retired EV Battery Management next week. There's still time to register and tune in, so don't miss it! Especially easy to access, as it's online. https://t.co/zW7CEAU4nt #electricvehicles#batteries
VALUABLE project will also be mentioned in this event and how the project ambition contributes to increasing #sustainability. Tune in to hear from VALUABLE project lead @AlbertMinguela
If the UK is to maintain its position as a globally significant car manufacturing nation, it will need to invest heavily in all of the automotive supply chain, including battery manufacturing and subsequent recycling for recovery of critical raw materials.

Are you taking #ClimateAction and want to know more about the science behind #ClimateChange?
You can find out in this video as @Cycling_Sarah and @BanteringRam help to demystify ‘the science bit’.

Are #electricvehicles affordable and fun? What do you think? This #webinar provides several perspectives - from the experiences of driving an EV, to how cities perceive EVs, and the question of vehicles coming to end of life https://t.co/BqcfxtiBN4
Closing the Loop is the only #sustainable way to meet the exponential increase in demand for Li-ion #batteries. #Recycling ensures an ethical source of critical materials, while safely handling the hazardous materials throughout the battery life cycle.

As the shift to renewable energy expands and the development of more intermittent energy sources accelerates, we need to consider alternatives for #energystorage. #Batteries could provide the answer, as we explain in our latest blogpost

Researchers are making strides in finding ways to eliminate #cobalt from li-ion #batteries, e.g. by creating new battery chemistries where cobalt is substituted with #nickel without compromising battery performance.

If there is a possible supply of lithium on your doorstep, it makes total sense to try and develop it.” “This will also increase the likelihood of UK being able to attract battery megafactories needed to maintain the country’s auto industry.” https://t.co/WfttoT2VnO
A new cell cooling coefficient has been discovered by researchers at @imperialcollege which can tell designers how difficult it will be to manage heat in the selected cells in a pack and provide manufacturers with a simple way to compare battery packs

Moving away from #fossilfuels is sure to have a positive impact on the environment, but not one without consequences, especially when it comes to how #batteries are #recycled, as we explore here: https://t.co/16Op6te9il
