Breaking batteries better: the science of smarter shredding

University of Birmingham

School of Metallurgy & Materials

When Li-ion batteries are recycled at industrial scale, the first step is shredding. What comes out, a mixture called "black mass", determines everything that follows, from hydrometallurgical processing to the feasibility of direct recycling. Read more
