Scientists led by Finland\u2019s <\/span>Aalto University have a found a way to revive lithium-ion batteries and to facilitate their reuse, pv magazine<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cRe-lithiation\u201d explained<\/h3>\n

The process, called \u201cre-lithiation,\u201d aims t\u03bf reverse the gradual loss of lithium which accounts for the battery\u2019s performance loss. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through an electrolysis process the scientists managed to rejuvenate lithium in battery electrodes, and then compared the performance of the \u201crefreshed\u201d electrodes with those from a brand new battery.<\/p>\n

According to the results<\/a>, the re-lithiation process succeeded, and the capability and recharge capacity of the old battery were almost the same as in brand new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advantages<\/h3>\n

This doesn\u2019t really mean that a revived battery can replace a new one, but that it can potentially reduce the cost and complexity from recycling battery components and materials. <\/span><\/p>\n

The current methods, which deal with a degraded battery structure, require expensive and energy-consuming processes to separate and purify the materials before they can be reused.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy reusing the structures of batteries we can avoid a lot of the labor that is common in recycling and potentially save energy at the same time,\u201d explained Aalto University professor Tanja Kallio.<\/span><\/p>\n
