A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled an innovative recycling technology capable of recovering more than 95% of nickel and cobalt from waste batteries with a purity exceeding 99%. This advanced method addresses the limitations of conventional wet recycling processes, which often involve complex chemical procedures and generate large volumes of harmful wastewater. The new approach promises a more sustainable, high-efficiency solution that could transform the battery recycling industry.
