Researchers develop groundbreaking method to pull extremely valuable material from old EV batteries: 'The technology works'

Chemists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a cost-effective way to recycle lithium from old electric vehicle batteries, which could benefit the planet and reduce battery manufacturing costs.  According to a news release from the university, many automakers have shown interest in recycling or reusing the lithium in spent batteries, but the process is typically cost-prohibitive. However, the research team believes a new, sus…
