Recycling of Lithium Ion Electrodes

This process is an electrochemical process that effectively leaches cobalt and other valuable constituents from Li-ion battery electrodes. A reductant is used to solubilize the metal species in a dilute acid solution. Typical recycling process reactions usually require elevated temperatures and multiple hours for completion. INL’s process helps lower the cost of the recycling process.

Ferromagnetic Field Engine

The ferromagnetic field engine or FFE is a vertical 2-cylinder mechanical bar magnet. When the engine turns on, it becomes a powerful electromagnetic superconductor capable of producing more electricity than required to operate. The FFE is configured to paramagnetically align 1-north and 1-south diamagnetic field cylinder or DFC to the same axis and loop cycle.
