Zain’s review paper on sustainable lithium-ion battery recycling

Congratulations to Zain Kader on his review paper in Emergent Materials. With electric vehicle production growing rapidly, the question of what to do with end-of-life lithium-ion batteries is becoming increasingly urgent. Zain’s review covers the landscape of sustainable recycling technologies — from pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical approaches through to direct recycling — assessing their current capabilities and the path toward a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries. A timely and well-rounded piece of work!
