The #Sustainability Office at #Nanyang Technological University (#NTU), #Singapore, has developed a new methodology to #Recycle and extract up to 95 percent of the critical elements of a #Lithium #Ion #Battery, Professor Madhavi Srinivasan (#EcoLabs Centre of Innovation for Energy), comments on the environmentally friendly recycling process that has enabled researchers to develop a more #CostEffective and #GreenSolution compared to traditional #Pyrometallurgy and #Hydrometallurgy processes. Using innovative computational chemistry and #MachineLearning methods, she searches for new materials that can potentially transform the next generation of batteries. These high-capacity, #EcoFriendly #Batteries can be used to power a variety of electronic innovations, from electric vehicles to portable electronic devices. With this research, as well as #Patents, #NTU will become a world leader in #Sustainability on par with Universities such as #Stanford and #Berkeley. https://lnkd.in/gySavSZr

📢 Attention 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀! Did you know we have special student pricing for the 𝐘𝐄𝐀 𝐒𝐀 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭? This event is not to be missed for aspiring engineers and engineers interested in #sustainability. Join #YEASA and SENG - Sustainable Engineering Society for breakfast, panel, and professional networking to meet engineering executives and emerging professionals. This year's panel of STEM professionals will be discussing the important concept of "𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻", and how engineers are a vital part of ensuring that we are building a future for those most impacted by climate change. With a great momentum in demand for changing from a carbon-based economy to a greener economy, the global dialogue around "𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻" has recently gained traction, a concept that will allow for society to pivot to a net-zero future. ✍ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘄 at https://lnkd.in/gZnTM4UB Ellaine Kokotis Yu-Han (Alice) Liao Tyler Hill Julian Z.

I ran two workshops yesterday for students, Early Career Researchers and staff at Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Royce at the University of Oxford and Oxford Net Zero. The first covered careers; wide-ranging discussion continued over lunch and several students had 1:1 meetings with me. The second was on policy, regulatory and political issues associated with materials manufacture. This included energy, trade, sustainability and decarbonisation. I shared the recent net zero technology development and cultural change in UK #ceramic and other materials manufacturing industries. Thanks to Lee Brownsword for providing an update for me to include from the recently-published Ceramics UK Decarbonisation Roadmap. I included case studies from different countries on #criticalmaterials and battery gigafactories, and how this links to business strategy and recycling. We had some great questions on the importance of industrial strategy and policy stability, especially in relation to net zero. Many students were interested in the political levers; I think they will be keeping an eye on #SpringBudget2024! Many thanks to Tinka Marquardt, for superb organisation and publicity and to St Edmund Hall for hosting the event. Great discussions too with others in the Zero Institute Leadership Team, especially Robin Morris and Paul Shearing on their work and the link with policy. I value that my Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professorship allows me to teach at all universities in the Henry Royce Institute. This helps many more of the next generation of materials scientists and engineers understand key policy-related areas and some fascinating multi-disciplinary challenges beyond academia where they can make a difference. #RAEngVP #Ceramics #NetZero #EnergyEfficiency #TransformingFoundationIndustries
