Solvometallurgicaly Battery Recycling using Deep Eutectic Solvents

As global society moves away from conventional fossil-based energy sources and towards greater electrification, the amount of waste lithium-ion batteries is only going to increase. This study is to develop an eco-friendly, low-cost solvometallurgical process using deep eutectic solvents (DES) in order to separate and recover strategic metal resources (Li, Ni, Co, Mn, etc.) from spent Li-ion batteries.
