Highly Efficient p-Toluenesulfonic Acid-Based Deep-Eutectic Solvents for Cathode Recycling of Li-Ion Batteries

The common use of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in portable devices and electric vehicles is promoting an exponential growth of the rechargeable batteries market. Their use in electric vehicles while not yet so common will be favored in the near future by government incentives aiming to mitigate global warming effects coming from combustion engines. Despite the remote risk of cobalt (Co) and lithium (Li) supplies running low, metals recovery from...
