Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

Abstract

The demand for lithium-ion batteries to power electric vehicles and portable electronics is growing. The need to recover critical minerals, including cobalt, nickel, and lithium, required for these batteries is also growing. Currently, these minerals are recovered from spent batteries through hydrometallurgical processes, which use strong acids and solvent extraction. These processes generate hazardous waste and…
