Sprig 🌱📰 How to recycle batteries the right way (without starting a fire or trashing the planet)
🗒 "Most batteries contain metals such as cobalt, nickel, and manganese that can be harmful if they leak into soil and water. Keeping them out of landfills reduces the risk of contamination. It also keeps valuable materials in circulation, which matters because recycling reduces the need for mining new raw materials."

Mark#ClimateChange bad news for #EV #batteries. Can technology outsmart rising temperatures?
Warmer temperatures accelerate the degradation of #batteries in #EVs, posing a “make-or-break” for people considering making the switch.
Climate change has created a “catch-22” for the #electric #vehicle (EV) transition – but advancements in battery #technology could outsmart rising temperatures.

An international research team involving the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) – a branch of GSI/FAIR and @unimainz – has now developed a method to analyze a battery’s condition non-destructively through the battery casing.
This helps for the development of next-generation battery cell technologies. #renewable #energy #darmstadt #science https://www.gsi.de/en/start/news/details/2026/03/05/zulf-nmr-battery-testing
Non-destructive battery testing — New method developed with GSI participation
Rechargeable batteries are everywhere — from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage. Battery failures are often due to the loss or chemical degradation of the electrolyte. An international research team involving the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, a branch of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Berlin, and New York University has now addressed the question of how ...
ResearchBuzz: FirehoseHackaday: Running A Desktop PC Off AA Alkaline Cells. “Everyone is probably familiar with the concept of battery-powered devices, but generally, this involves a laptop with a beefy battery pack and hardware optimized for low power draw. You could also do the complete opposite and try to run a desktop PC off alkaline AA cells, as [ScuffedBits] recently did out of morbid curiosity. Exactly how […]

Mammal-inspired skin sweats to keep batteries cool https://newatlas.com/energy/mammal-inspired-skin-sweats-cools-batteries/
Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient, dissipating less than 10% of their energy as heat during operation. However, they require thermal management systems to regulate this heat, as it can negatively impact their performance and lifespan. On the other hand, their far more inefficient electrochemical distant cousin, the human body, generates enough heat to boil over 100 cups of tea daily and is literally just chillin'.
The secret? Our skin and its ability to sweat. A team of researchers from the City University of Hong Kong may have found a way to give batteries this ability, using a Skin-Inspired Adaptive Nanocomposites Cooling Membrane.

Philippines mandates energy storage for renewables plants over 10 MW
Department of Energy (DOE) order sets out new rules for mandatory energy storage, including a minimum capacity of at least 20% of the generating plant’s installed capacity. DOE also calls for energy storage systems (ESS) installations to have grid supporting capabilities, such as grid-forming inverters to help stabilize voltage and frequency.
