Lithium saturation to make old batteries new Scientists investigating the aging mechanisms affecting today's lithium-ion batteries observed that the loss of lithium over time is one of the main causes of performance loss. With this in mind, they developed and tested a "relithiation" process that promises to eliminate much of the cost and complexity from recycling battery components and materials.With energy storage technology playing an ever more important role in our daily lives, one that is set to increase dramatically with the adoption of electric vehicles, availability of the materials to manufacture lithium-ion batteries, their safe ...
