From Waste to Wonder: CO2 Recycles Lithium Batteries
Dr. Burçak Ebin's team showed that carbon dioxide under pressure can selectively extract electrolyte solvents from spent lithium-ion batteries without the toxic emissions of heat-based recycling.

Professor Lidija Šiller's team found that nickel nanoparticles speed carbon dioxide absorption by the capture solvent monoethanolamine, especially at cooler temperatures, but also hasten its breakdown.
