New Perspective on Anode-Free All-Solid-State Batteries with Shirley Meng from University of Chicago; Argonne National Laboratory. Anode-free strategy is gaining more interest in recent years, due to its manufacturing simplicity and potential for high-energy-density batteries without safety compromise. However, the design constraints for anode-free batteries have been difficult to overcome. In this talk, I will give an update on our efforts to enable anode-free lithium-metal and anode-free sodium-metal batteries. We hope to discuss a few opportunities presented by such a strategy. https://lnkd.in/eZfQmXpd Save €150 with Discount Code 2428-SPK. #AABCEurope

🔄 🌟 #Recycling of Solid-State Batteries: Promising Approaches Published in "Nature Energy" 🔋 Amidst the energy transition and the increasing use of rechargeable #battery storage, solid-state batteries hold significant promise due to their potentially higher energy and power density, as well as enhanced safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, addressing the rising demand for primary materials and potential material shortages necessitates tailored recycling processes for various types of solid-state batteries. 📃 A recent publication in the prestigious journal "Nature Energy" presents solutions for recycling different solid-state battery types. The paper focuses specifically on current recycling strategies for various solid-state batteries (SSBs). The focus is on promising solid electrolytes (SEs), including oxides, sulphides/thiophosphates/halides and polymers, as well as combinations of these (so-called hybrid solid electrolytes). The fundamental knowledge for these recycling strategies is being developed through ongoing research at the BLB - Battery LabFactory Braunschweig.

A #Lithium Ion #Battery consists of more than the electrodes... What about the cell casing? The latest paper by Malena Staudacher, Tony Lyon and Urs Alexander Peuker is dedicated to the processing and #recycling of the battery casing. It discusses common #sorting processes and the influence of selective deformation on the composite material. This research is embedded in the German federal activities in battery recycling greenBattNutzung - Recycling & Green Battery and Battery Utilisation Concepts and EIT RawMaterials RIS Hub Adria #AutoBatRec.

Last week Greeniron H2 AB’s Jan Boberg, presented project HANS at the Metallic Materials conference in Stockholm.   HANS is a project that evaluates methods to recirculate residual products generated in foundry environments such as mill scale, filter dust and slag. The residuals represent approximately 5 % of material losses in foundries as well as steel plants. Finding methods to recycle those 5 % will have a great impact on resource efficiency and reduction of CO2-emissions.   GreenIron's process is key to this approach, where the goal is to generate results that enable the foundry industry to take further steps towards more sustainable manufacturing.    Read full article at https://lnkd.in/dfn6aGZi   #MoreCirularityLessMining #GreenIron #metalliskamaterial #strategiskainnovationsprogram #Vinnova #energimyndigheten #formas #janboberg #lindaahl #projekthans #rise #gjuteriföreningen #jernkontoret #GreenIndustry #WeBelieveInCollaboration #CTO #GreenEvolution #GreenIndustry #SustainableManufacturing #SwedishEnergyAgency #impactinnovation #innovation

State-funded collaborative project: "PARITY-4-REUSE" aims to revolutionize the recyclability of Type 4 Pressure Vessels 🌿 Currently, the production of Type 4 pressure tanks is based on a thermoset matrix, which is only very limitedly recyclable. However, the issue of "reusability of plastic products" is becoming increasingly important. Energy transition and reduced CO2 emissions #climateneutrality A consortium of industry and research has set itself this ambitious goal: to develop a PA 6-based Type 4 pressure tank that can be recycled and sustainably reintegrated into the material cycle. The project started on October 1, 2023, and will run for three years. Project coordination is handled by Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbH / Elkamet Rotomolding, supported by the engineering service provider ISATEC GmbH as a subcontractor. Additionally, the companies Roth Composite Machinery GmbH and Siebenwurst GmbH & Co. KG, as well as the Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich) with the Chair of Carbon Composites, are involved. An associated partner is HYDAC Group Technologies GmbH. Parity-4-Reuse is funded within the framework of the National Innovation Program for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP II) with a total of €1,097,350.46 by the Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr (BMDV). The funding directive is coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by Projektträger Jülich (PtJ). #ShapingTheFutureWithRotomolding #ElkametRotomolding #recycling #Type4pressurevessel #hydrogen

Lyten has created a battery that can be locally sourced and manufactured in the U.S., Europe and anywhere else across the globe. Lithium-Sulfur technology brings a high energy density and lightweight chemistry that eliminates dependency on mined materials like nickel and cobalt. Couple this with the ability to manufacture Lyten lithium-sulfur on existing lithium-ion gigafactory equipment and you get a truly sustainable, low-cost, and supply chain-friendly battery for the EV and mobility sectors. We're making it possible to create economic growth without emissions growth. #Sustainability #EVbatteries #CarbonFootprint
