TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
This technology takes advantage of lithium electrodeposition for recovery of lithium from the electrolyte in end-of-life batteries. A companion mathematical model was developed to predict the optimal conditions for lithium electrodeposition in graphite-based lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicle applications under different charging rates and operating temperatures.
