Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, working with a spin-off company called 24M, have recently developed an advanced process for manufacturing lithium batteries, which is not only expected to significantly reduce production costs, but also improve battery performance and make it easier to recycle. The existing lithium battery manufacturing method was invented 20 years ago, and is inefficient and cumbersome. Jiang Yeming (transliteration), professor of ceramic technology
