What if old EV batteries could become even better battery materials?

WPI researchers are developing a one-step upcycling process designed to convert lithium-ion battery waste into high-performance cathode materials for next-generation batteries without costly sorting and separation steps. The project is supported by a $1 million award from the @ENERGY.
