𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: https://lnkd.in/ekcrNNEu At present, recycling is a labour-intensive process, with costs influenced by battery chemistry, commodity prices, and recovery efficiency. Developing and implementing advanced recycling technologies should increase efficiency, reduce costs, and promote a circular domestic battery economy. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 20 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬: ♻️The size of the global recycling market ♻️Key recycling processes ♻️Battery recycling economics - the challenges of retaining the recycled materials value ♻️Developments in the UK and European recycling industry ♻️Opportunities and challenges for the UK to establish itself as a leading battery recycling location This Insight complements Insight 9: The importance of coherent regulatory and policy strategies for the recycling of EV batteries. https://lnkd.in/eYkSii8a   #BatteryRecycling #LithiumIon #NetZero

Many congratulations to Entrepreneurial Fellows Sanzhar Taizhan, TaiSan on the successful fundraise... 👏

Great to see this partnership announced

Great programme from the #FaradayBatteryChallenge. UK SMEs in battery sector take a look today ⬇

The Faraday Institution's Commercialisation Director Nick Smailes was delighted to be invited to join the delegation for the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office David Lammy's trip to Delhi yesterday. The delegation is seeking to strengthen UK-India ties and develop closer cooperation to: create jobs , boost economic growth and tackle climate challenges. There's huge potential for UK-India cooperation for battery development and manufacture to benefit both nations: Tata Group, Agratas, Faradion Limited, Reliance Energy 💡 Read more about how the Ayrton Challenge on Energy Storage is advancing energy storage technology for emerging economies. https://lnkd.in/ge3TE-Gq   Ayrton Fund, Transforming Energy Access, #SDG7 #SDG13 The Carbon Trust, Steven Hunt, Charlotte Watts

📢 Faraday Institution Adjunct Professorial Fellowship awarded to Professor Venkataraman Thangadurai The Faraday Institution Adjunct Professorial Fellowship programme is designed to enable universities in its community to attract leading battery scientists to the UK or promote new people to contribute to fields related to energy storage research. Professor Thangadurai has joined the University of St Andrews from the University of Calgary, Canada as Chair of Energy. He will work with John Irvine in the School of Chemistry | University of St Andrews, lead of the #NEXGENNA project. Prof Thangadurai’s research interests involve the design and preparation of novel solid electrolytes exhibiting fast oxide ion, lithium ion, and sodium ion conduction and mixed ionic-electronic conduction based on inorganic crystal structures Venkat will be speaking at the Newcastle Conference on 11th September. https://lnkd.in/e3b_QWjg Please welcome Venkat to the community. 👏 The scheme provides funding and resources for research, professional development, collaboration and engagement with the The Faraday Institution energy storage research community.
