Chinese scientists developed a low-energy, eco-friendly method to recycle over 95% of lithium from old batteries using CO₂ and water, avoiding toxins and high energy use.
Chinese scientists have created a low-energy, eco-friendly method to recycle lithium from old batteries, recovering over 95% of lithium using only carbon dioxide and water.
The process, published in Nature Communications, mimics carbonated drinks by converting lithium into a pure bicarbonate solution while producing a reusable catalyst.
It avoids toxic chemicals and high energy use, captures CO₂, and supports China’s climate goals.
Researchers plan to test industrial flue gas as a CO₂ source to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
