Nuclear power provides a sustainable, long-term energy source that is an important
technology in efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. However, issues related to …

The future need to recycle enormous quantities of Li-ion batteries is a consequence of the
rapid rise in electric vehicles required to decarbonise the transport sector. Cobalt is a critical …

In this study, WC and WC-6 wt% Co scraps were utilized in molten salt state as two
consumable anodes to circulate tungsten and cobalt during electrolysis. Because of poor …

Molten chloride salts have recently gained attention for application to heat transfer and
thermal energy storage in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. In this study, we studied …

The creation of a circular economy is seen as one of the key challenges in recycling spent Li-
ion batteries and would vastly diminish pressures faced in the initial extraction stage of the …

In this paper, the flat tungsten coatings with uniform grains were prepared via electrolytic
tungsten at 1173 K in ternary molten salt system formed by tungstate, tungsten oxide and …

Aluminum is an ideal cathode material for the pyrochemical reprocessing of spent nuclear
fuels. However, there is a lack of large-scale experiments to further assess its performance …

In this paper, tungsten coatings on copper substrates were prepared by electro-deposition
from a Na2WO4 molten salt system at 1173K. The coating composition, microstructure, and …

Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) guarantees the conservation of important metal
resources by reducing demands on raw supply and offsetting the energy and environmental …

The electrochemical reduction of UO 2 to U metal has been investigated in both Fluidized
Cathode (FC) and Metallic Cavity Electrode (MCE) cell arrangements. Differences in the …
