Watch the video to see how Recirculate is leading the charge towards a circular battery economy.🌱⚡ 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAja7byh #Sustainability #EVBatteries #Innovation #CircularEconomy #Recirculate

Happy holidays 🎄 🎅 This year, the Recirculate project progressed a lot - we’ve done much in batteries characterization and dismantling to bring into life new efficient and sustainable second-life solutions. We thank all of you for being part of this journey toward a sustainable, circular future! We wish you a lot of new opportunities, greener solutions, and endless possibilities!

I am truly honored to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my amazing colleagues who have been instrumental in driving forward our Horizon Europe-funded project, RECIRCULATE. A special thanks to Buket ÇINAR GELİR, M.Sc., Yusuf Güngör, Ahmet Selim Dizer, Sinem Boyacı for playing a vital role in the development of the project and, last but not least, Nihal Er Ulay and Cem Yığman for their contributions and support in the management. As we reach the halfway mark of this ambitious project, we take pride in the multiple milestones achieved together in developing Safe and Smart Transportation Solutions with this incredible team. Looking ahead, we’re excited to further demonstrate our progress as we continue to develop the DigiTruck. Stay tuned for more updates by following us at Recirculate and all our 11 important partners from across Europe, namely: Centria University of Applied Sciences, Ford Otosan, CSEM, ECO STOR AS, Libattion, Minespider, GelKoh, Probot Oy, Iconiq Innovation and EURECAT!

Electric vehicle batteries contain various components that can harm the environment if not managed correctly. Due to battery chemicals and electrical charge, the dismantling environment is hazardous. Centria University of Applied Sciences and Probot Oy are working on creating an automated robotic dismantling system within the Recirculate project.

Stanford University researchers unveil a groundbreaking technique to improve lithium metal battery performance 🔋🎓 By allowing lithium metal batteries to "rest" in a discharged state, scientists have found a simple yet highly effective way to extend battery lifespan and improve efficiency. The research highlights that even small pauses in battery operation allow the lithium to stabilize, reducing harmful dendrite growth—a common issue in lithium metal batteries. This technique requires no additional costs or materials, making it a game-changer for both sustainability and affordability in energy storage.

Stellantis and Factorial Energy are advancing EV technology with the development of FEST (Factorial Electrolyte System Technology) solid-state batteries. These batteries offer an energy density exceeding 390 Wh/kg, promising longer driving ranges and enhanced safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. FEST technology combines a lithium-metal anode, quasi-solid electrolyte, and a high-capacity cathode. This design merges the performance and safety benefits of solid-state electrolytes with the manufacturability of conventional lithium-ion batteries.

A recent study has debunked the myth that EV batteries have a short lifespan 🧐💡 The research indicates that EV batteries can retain about 90% of their initial capacity after six and a half years of use. Factors such as exposure to heat and frequent fast charging were found to contribute more to battery degradation than age or mileage. Notably, vehicles like the Nissan LEAF, which lack active cooling systems, may experience faster battery degradation compared to models equipped with such systems.
