Challenges in the Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries Webinar

RSC Advances is very pleased to be sponsoring the upcoming webinar:  Challenges in the Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries on Monday 6th July, 15:00 – 17:00 BST.

This webinar is hosted by the Applied Materials Chemistry Group for all members to discover and discuss the challenges faced in the recycling and recovery of lithium-ion batteries. With the increase in uptake of electric vehicles, the intended pathway towards greener transportation will inevitably spring up waste and recycling issues for batteries, as well as resource depletion issues for critical raw materials such as lithium. The webinar will discuss the current waste and recycling industry for batteries, share information on the latest research in lithium-ion battery recycling and set challenges in the field for researchers to adopt in the pursuit of a greener future. You can find out more here.

Speakers:

Dr Linda Gaines, Argonne National Laboratory, United Kingdom
Evi Petavratzi, British Geological Survey, United Kingdom
Professor Andrew Abbott, Faraday Institute, University of Leicester, United Kingdom

Registration Deadline: 3rd July
