Spent EV Batteries Get Second Life as Higher-Performance Battery Material

Spent EV Batteries Get Second Life as Higher-Performance Battery Material
Newswise imageUC San Diego engineers have developed an environmentally-friendly method to upcycle material from spent batteries into higher-performing parts. Their method transforms the cathode from LFP batteries -- which are used in EVs and energy grids -- into one that stores more energy. It worked on various types of spent LFP batteries from different manufacturers.
