Cornell's electrochemical bath brings spent EV batteries back to 95% and could rewrite recycling

A new battery-recycling breakthrough from Cornell University could help address one of the messiest challenges in the electric vehicle industry: what happens after a battery reaches the end of its useful life. Researchers say spent EV batteries may be revived through a chemical treatment rather than being broken down or processed in high-temperature furnaces, restoring up to 95% of their capacity while reducing recycling manufacturing costs by 5…
