German researchers develop recycling for dry-processed Li-ion batteries
Researchers at the University of Münster have developed a mechanical recycling process for production scrap from the dry processing of lithium-ion batteries. The method operates without solvents, preserves material properties, and allows the recycled cathode powder to be directly reused in electrode manufacturing.
