TM - Toyota and Argonne National Laboratory Investigate Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries | Benzinga
Research project seeks to utilize a new process for recovering critical battery materials
Process can be used on end-of-life automotive batteries as well as manufacturing scrap
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor North America ('Toyota') announces that it has entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory to investigate the development of a direct recycling process for lithium-ion batteries, which are prevalent in new electric vehicles. The focus of the research will be on cathode chemistries made of nickel, manganese, and cobalt.
"Having Argonne utilize our commercial battery products will help us evaluate the direct recycling process at an industrial scale, in addition to other battery recycling technologies to maintain a diverse portfolio ...
