New Project "Lithium Recycling from Waste Batteries"
Congratulations to Prof. Ying Zheng and the research team on launching a new project focused on lithium recycling from waste batteries.
The project expands the group’s research into critical mineral recovery and sustainable battery recycling, with a focus on developing innovative approaches to recover valuable materials from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. The Zheng Research Group is exploring methods involving organic solvents and mechanochemical processes to enable more sustainable extraction and recovery of valuable elements from battery waste.
With the rapid growth of electric vehicles and energy-storage technologies, the sustainable management of spent lithium-ion batteries has become increasingly important. Recovering lithium and other critical materials can help reduce waste, conserve valuable resources, and support a more circular and sustainable battery supply chain. Prof. Zheng’s recent research also examines closed-loop recycling technologies from environmental, technological, and economic perspectives.
This new research direction further strengthens the group’s commitment to developing clean technologies, resource recovery processes, and sustainable solutions for future energy systems.
Congratulations to Prof. Zheng and the team on this exciting new research initiative!
