Dr Steve Sloop, CEO of OnTo Technology, describes how direct recycling holds the key to the cost-effective re-purposing of cathodes by unlocking the potential of the original energy and materials used to first fabricate them. By repairing rather than breaking-up the metals used in cathode construction considerable energy and materials, that would otherwise be wasted, can be saved.
The lithium-ion battery industry was launched in 1991 with cells powering portable video recorders. The prototypical original cathode chemistry, lithium cobalt . . .
