COMPLETE RECYCLE OF SOLID-STATE BATTERIES POSSIBLE, THANKS TO POLYMER LAYERS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Solid-state lithium batteries are stable, have a higher energy density, and are much safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, but they are more difficult to recycle. New research has revealed a practical and efficient way to recycle solid-state batteries. The process results in recycled batteries with over 92 percent of the discharge capacity of the original battery. The research demonstrates that it is possible to recycle solid-state batteries and harness their potential without harming the environment.
