But this may change, as Chinese researchers have recently developed an innovative process that allows for the recovery of up to 99.99% of lithium from used batteries. This method uses glycine, a common amino acid, to capture metal ions such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, preventing the formation of toxic byproducts and reducing pollution of recycled materials. Furthermore, the excess glycine can be reused as agricultural fertilizer.

I really love what I am hearing
