Recycling process restores spent batteries to 100% of original capacity

A team of researchers headed by Dr. Jung-Je Woo at the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center, part of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), has created an affordable and environmentally friendly method for recycling cathode materials from used lithium-ion batteries. This recycling technique can restore spent batteries to 100% of their original capacity, making them equivalent to new batteries.
