This process uses a thermochemical treatment to restore aging cells. The approach allows for the recovery of battery function without the need to dismantle components into base elements, offering a faster alternative to traditional cathode recycling methods.Why it mattersStandard battery recycling often requires intensive processes to extract raw materials from spent cells. This method targets the restoration of the battery's oper
