Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents for Tailored Metal Separation and Recycling (DESignSX)
CoordinatorEuropean Comission
Sustainable metallurgy is environmentally sound and allows reclaiming metal value from end-of-life devices, thereby closing the resource loop. However, the separation of lanthanides (Ln) poses challenges due to their subtle property variations, which affect their recycling economics despite growing demand. In this context, the ERC-funded DESignS...NGS - New Generation Storage (NGS (WP1-BPE23 Li REGENERATION CYCLE))
