Water-Soluble Battery Binder Cuts Fluorine and NMP From Lithium-Ion Recycling
Engineers at the University of California San Diego and the Toyota Research Institute of North America have developed a battery binder that dissolves in plain water at room temperature — a seemingly minor change of ingredient that could strip toxic solvents, high-temperature furnaces and hazardous waste out of both lithium-ion manufacturing and recycling. The work … Read more
