- This interdisciplinary work (chemistry and electrical engineering) describes the first step in a recycling process for LIB: stabilisation. This is performed using non-toxic discharge methods, produces no toxic gases and renders the cells safe for further dismantling. It led to further IUK funding (R2LIB (£2.5M)), two review articles in Nature and Sustainable Materials and Technologies (accepted and under review) and invited talks (Florida 2019, LCVE 2018), as well as media coverage on R2LIB, and education resources on the RSC. The researcher and PI posts were incorporated into FI-ReLIB £10M, and collaborations initiated with ICoNiChem, MSolv, PV3, York Uni and Circa.
