Researchers use cold sintering process to recycle solid and liquid parts of solid-state batteries
Researchers at Penn State University have used a method called cold sintering to recycle the solid and liquid electrolyte components of solid-state batteries. These batteries offer high energy density, safety, and nonflammability, suitable for various applications like electric vehicles and portable electronics. Cold sintering is a process that densifies powder-based materials into solid forms at low temperatures using pressure and solvents. Reprocessing and reusing electrolytes offer energy savings and reduce environmental impact, enhancing the sustainability of solid-state batteries. Additionally, the researchers demonstrated the recycling potential of materials crucial for electric vehicle components, contributing to greenhouse gas reduction.
