Also, a special thank you to Claire Hansell @HansellThe, the editor at @Nature who worked with us and supported us through the process.
The team who wrote the paper were: @gavindjharper @RSommerville,@Emjewls, @lauraldriscoll, @prslaterchem, @rustam_stolkin, Allan Walton, Paul Christensen, @OliverHeid82032 , @drsmlambert Andrew Abbott, Karl Ryder, Linda Gaines & Paul Anderson.
Our paper has currently been cited 2340 times on Google Scholar, 1832 times on CrossRef, 1648 times on Web of Science, with 341k accesses and an Altmetric of 1046. nature.altmetric.com/details…
The paper was an international collaboration between @FaradayInst @ReLIBProject partners including @unibirmingham @eps_unibham @bhamenergy #BCSECM, @UniofNewcastle, @UniLeicester and our collaborators at @argonne #ReCell center.
Thanks to everyone in the battery community who found our work helpful. It has been great that our review was so well received by the global Lithium Ion Battery recycling community. It has been great to see all of the interest in this review.
At the @FaradayInst @ReLIBProject, we are proud of our team's impactful work: According to the recently released @Google #Scholar 2024 Metrics, our 2019 #Nature150 paper, is ranked #27 of all articles in @Nature, published 2019-2024, which is Google Scholar's #1 ranked journal.
What % (pack by weight) of materials from EV batteries are recovered and reused? 60%? 50%? Less?
Where does the rest go? Incineration? Landfill? The Pacific?
Should we include energy-from-waste with its associated CO2 footprint as recovery?
A few questions to think about:
If 5% is wrong, what is the correct value?
What does it mean to say a battery is recycled?
Is it Ok to base recycling rates only on the recovery of critical metals?
Important issue this, and interesting to see the 5% recycling rate (mis)quoted again theguardian.com/technology/a…
Without a more diverse portfolio of technologies instead of an all eggs in one basket approach there is no green revolution !
