Session Proposal: New Technology to Create, Process, Manufacture, and Recycle Resilient Electroactive Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries (AGU25)

MR006
New Technology to Create, Process, Manufacture, and Recycle Resilient Electroactive Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Session ID#: 250643

Session Description:
The beating heart of the energy revolution is the rechargeable battery. Each step in the process of developing, producing and recycling cathode- and anode-active materials for standard lithium-ion cells requires applied science from the disciplines of chemistry, mineralogy, and crystallography, as well as nimble engineering. New battery components and forms are in all phases of development and testing. Reuse and recycling of new and existing battery components has the potential to dramatically reduce the need for extracting Earth materials, especially if new batteries are built with this end in mind. This session welcomes submissions related to any and all ways in which critical metals and minerals – lithium, graphite, cobalt, nickel, and more – are used and reused to create, improve, and develop the batteries that power our world.
