On 11th April, Prof. Friedrich gave a keynote on the Advanced Battery Power Conference in Münster. He gave an overview of the last 20 years of battery recycling research, its drivers and requirements, as well as the many unresolved issues and challenges to be addressed in future works. As the conference offers a large stage for the battery production community, this was a special opportunity to discuss the challenges to be addressed after the battery lifetime from the perspective of recyclers.
Prof. Friedrich also moderated the session on life-cycle and recycling. It is clear that the topic of recycling has become an integral part of lithium-ion battery research. This was also evident in the insightful conversations, intensive discussions, and the exciting exchange during the conference.
