Gavin and Prof. Xiao Su Win BRIDGE Seed Grant on Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling

Gavin and Professor Xiao Su of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have secured a seed funding initiation grant under BRIDGE: the Birmingham Illinois Partnership. They are Co-Principal Investigators on the project "Bridging Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling to the Next Level".

They plan to explore the possibility of partnership between their projects on the circular economy of lithium-ion batteries. On the Birmingham side these sit within the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials and include Met4Tech and the Faraday Institution's ReLiB project. The grant will explore links with related projects in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Illinois.

Gavin thanked Johannes Elbert, Paul Anderson and Richard Brunt for their support of the project.
