LiCoRICE Battery Project

SFI Future Innovator Prize team, aiming to produce Ireland's first fully green lithium cobalt batteries through recycling.

Exciting times ahead for #LiCoRICE! We've been selected to continue to Seed phase of the SFI Future Innovators prize! @scienceirel @dfatirl #Sustainability

[Tony Keene 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇺🇦 @keene_chemistry]

I'm really delighted that our team has been selected to continue to the Seed Phase of the SFI Future Innovators Prize. Looking forward to getting this on the go with @Ferguson_UCD and @WEEEIreland to provide a greener route to rechargeable batteries.

Our research brings #lithium and #cobalt full circle in the circular economy

#chemistry #continuousflow process & #circulareconomy experts unite to deliver a unique solution to an impending global problem

“The transition to clean energy will be mineral intensive,” Nicholas LePan @VisualCap lithium demand is projected to climb by 965 per cent we transition to clean energy.

Excited to see @ucddublin welcoming @MINI on campus to promote their new #ElectricVehicles

Our Research will #recycle #battery materials.

@scienceirel @WEEEIreland People of #DRCongo have taken a case against @Apple @AlphabetINC @Microsoft @Tesla @Dell

@OECDgov have issued guidelines to prevent exploitation

Our research on Li and Co recovery will benefit industry and #people

[LiCoRICE Battery Project @BatteryLicorice]

Our research can help to stop #childlabour! Our research aims to implement a process that can recover lithium and cobalt from used batteries.

[LiCoRICE Battery Project @BatteryLicorice]

@amnesty @oecd issued guidelines to stop #childlabour and the unethical treatment of people mining conflict minerals.

The @EU_Commission has adopted these guidelines and they fully come into effect in 2021.

[LiCoRICE Battery Project @BatteryLicorice]

Cobalt is a conflict mineral, over half of the worlds cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The treatment of the people mining the cobalt is extremely unethical.

Our research recycles cobalt.

In 2016 @amnesty reported on the mining of #cobalt in the DRC.

This video highlights the #unethical treatment of these people.

@realtimechem here we are in the thick of it, collecting data! This work is all closely related to #BatteryDay

[LiCoRICE Battery Project @BatteryLicorice]

We came, we collected data and soon we'll know more! An intense but fruitful 24 hours of beam time! Made possible by our funding from @scienceirel and @dfatirl #research #innovation #cobat #batteryresearch @keene_chemistry @scferguson @WEEEIreland @dfatirl

[LiCoRICE Battery Project @BatteryLicorice]

Sample prepped and ready to go! @keene_chemistry @scferguson @WEEEIreland #cobat #realtimechem #research #climatechange

[David Mulrooney @davidzmul]

Despite #StormDennis yesterday I've made it to @RutherfordApLab!
Let the games begin! #phdchat #realtimechem #goodmorningbritain
