We can reuse a very significant portion of the cobalt

Scientists have experimented with many types of materials in hopes of making EV batteries, their storage, and their recycling more efficient. One of the latest breakthroughs, developed by a team from Linnaeus University in Sweden and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in India, is derived from perhaps the most unexpected substance yet: urine.
The new method, which the scientists described in a study published in the scientific journal ACS Omega, summarized by Anthropocene, can be used during the battery recycling process to extract valuable metals used in lithium-ion batteries. It uses a liquid solvent derived from urine and acetic acid, the main ingredient in vinegar.

I choose to believe that the scientists themselves don't know where the urine came from. Like there's just one guy on the team who knows where to get it. He's a pain to work with. He never comes...
The scientists did not say where they sourced the urine used for the experiment.
I choose to believe that the scientists themselves don't know where the urine came from. Like there's just one guy on the team who knows where to get it. He's a pain to work with. He never comes in on time, he does terrible work. He's even just a genuinely unpleasant person to be around. But somehow, without fail, he shows up like clockwork with large quantities of urine whenever the lab needs them. He's just the "pee guy," and because of that, he's irreplaceable. He brings quantities far too large to be generated by himself or even his family member, so he's clearly getting it from somewhere. But everyone is so afraid to ask that they all just let it roll. I'm imagining Creed from The Office.
If you really want to make someone happy with your pee, you could also take it to Berlin and share it with the Piss Goblin 🙂 (PS everyone should research the Piss Goblin)

I can only imagine it's this guy.
It make me wonder what are we able to recover right now. We all "recycle" our batteries and don't think about what actually happens to them.
Congratulations! Urine the program. You just need to zip up to the university lab twice a week to donate.

Ha! I used to until they stopped letting us recycle them and just told us to throw them in the trash.
I wonder how they came to figure this out. I guess you’d have to be pretty full of piss and vinegar to get an idea like that
I'm curious if they are using actual urine or if they are using urea/ammonia with the acetic acid.
The press release says it's urea and acetamide
Oh sure, but when I experiment with urine everyone has a big problem with it...
