Dead batteries could soon find a second lease on life thanks to a new chemical injection. One of the problems with lithium-ion batteries is that, over time, they slowly lose their charging efficacy, eventually becoming useless. However, a new battery revival injection could help reduce waste and make replacing batteries as often a thing of the past.
But right now, the initial findings are very promising and could provide a future where battery waste isn't nearly as high as it is right now. The researchers published their findings in the journal Joule, and they say they tested several different recovery methods but ultimately settled on a battery revival injection method that is based on lithium naphthalene, which was able to boost both the positively charged lithium ions and negatively charged electrons found in batteries.
