NYU Tandon professor examines the issue of battery recyclability

A new body of scholarship, funded by the USAID program through the U.S. National Academies and led by Nikhil Gupta, professor of mechanical and aerospace and civil and urban engineering, and a member of the NYU Center for Cybersecurity, focuses on the need to adopt a circular economy (or zero waste) paradigm for the dominant batteries — lithium ion (Li-ion) and lead acid (LA).
