Electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries with small amounts of nickel, manganese and cobalt. These metals determine the properties of the batteries, such as how much energy they can store, how long they last, and how quickly they charge. The production of these metals is associated with environmental and humanitarian issues, such as mining pollution and human rights violations.

Researchers at our Research Neutron Source Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) discovered crystalline powders that can make movements of ions visible. The new material class is a highly promising candidate for future solid-state batteries: go.tum.de/703576

With the increase of battery-enabled technologies around the world, firefighters have also seen an increase of unique hazards on the fireground that create new and significant challenges. To better understand the potential for failure and what unique hazards it may introduce, our Fire Safety Research Institute is researching fire and explosion hazards from in residential settings.

Combustion engine vehicles catch on fire far more frequently than lithium-ion battery powered cars, but when an electric car does, it’s a heckuva a fire. So if you are in one that does, get out ASAP.

Interesting article about what to do with lithium-ion batteries from cars as they reach their end-of-life. They can be reused first for grid-storage before actual recycling them.

This looks good. Setting up a facility to recycle used lithium-ion batteries.

""SINGAPORE: Singapore is set to host a new lithium-ion battery recycling facility.

TES, the largest e-waste recycler in the country, will be opening two such facilities with the other being in France, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Koh Poh Koon announced on Wednesday (Oct 30)."
