SWELL
Substance recycling of electrolyte conducting salts and solvents; Subproject: Purification and electrochemical characterization of recycled electrolyte components.
The SWELL project addresses the development and evaluation of efficient processes to increase the recycling efficiency of lithium-ion batteries. The focus of the project is on electrolytes. Already established recycling processes focus mainly on the recovery of the metals contained in LIBs, whereas the non-metallic components are largely not returned to the recycling loop.
