Concern rising over fires caused by lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries in smartphones and other devices caught fire or emitted smoke at waste-processing facilities 128 times last fiscal year, four times the level seen five years earlier. Incidents like this are causing an increasing amount of damage, with entire facilities sometimes burning down. In most cases, the batteries were mistakenly thrown away by households […]
Self-repairing batteries could soon become a reality
Engineers at the University of Tokyo have developed a material which could give more life and higher capacities to batteries. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. Atsuo Yamada and his team demonstrated that if the battery is made with a model material – oxygen redox-layered oxide (Na2RuO3) – something remarkable happens. Not […]
Volkswagen To Recycle Lithium-Ion Batteries In Salzgitter
An initial recycling capacity will be roughly 1,200 tons of EV batteries per year, equal to the batteries from about 3,000 cars. Volkswagen intends to comprehensively deal with lithium-ion batteries in its electric cars, after their capacity fades to the level not sustainable for use in cars anymore (usually expected at 10-15 years). The scale of […]
Lithium Australia teams up with Chinese battery producer to sell lithium-ion batteries into Australia
As it rapidly advances its proprietary technology, Lithium Australia (ASX: LIT) has now teamed up with Chinese battery producer DLG Battery Co Ltd to establish a joint venture business that will supply and sell lithium-ion batteries, packs and modules throughout Australia. The duo has inked a letter of intent with the equally owned joint venture […]
Fire risks from lithium ion batteries targeted in new waste project
A project to explore the safe handling of lithium ion batteries at the end of life, to minimise fire risks at recycling sites, has been announced by the WEEE Fund. The SAFeRWEEE project is a collaborative project between waste operators and fire chiefs to improve the handling of lithium ion batteries at the end of […]

New NSF grant could make lithium-ion batteries safer and promote their industrial use
LAWRENCE: You could have a lithium-ion battery in your pocket right now, powering your mobile phone or e-cig. If you have a laptop computer in your backpack, it probably runs on a lithium-ion battery. Or you might drive a Toyota Prius, Chevy Volt or Tesla powered by a large number of lithium-ion battery cells combined […]
Better method to recycle and renew used cathodes from lithium-ion batteries
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have improved their recycling process that regenerates degraded cathodes from spent lithium-ion batteries. The new process is safer and uses less energy than their previous method in restoring cathodes to their original capacity and cycle performance. Zheng Chen, a professor of nanoengineering who is affiliated with the […]
