Jeffrey Spangenberger: Battery Recycling Research

Millions of electric vehicles and cell phones are being produced, and they use millions of batteries. How can those batteries be made to be more sustainable and easier to recycle? Jeffrey Spangenberger is the Materials Recycling Group Leader in the Applied Materials Division at Argonne National Laboratory, where he is researching lithium-ion battery recycling. He discusses the upcoming changes in batteries, the national resell program, and material innovations to help the environment.
