This technology restores degraded battery electrodes by removing contamination that reduces performance. The regeneration process cleans anode and cathode surfaces, recovering function and extending battery life. It reduces the need for replacement, lowers environmental impact, and supports more sustainable battery lifecycle management across various battery types.
The Invention
This invention relates to a method for restoring the functionality of battery anode and cathode surfaces, which become contaminated and lose performance after repeated charge-discharge cycles. Instead of replacing spent batteries, this technology facilitates the regeneration of contaminated electrodes, thereby extending battery life and reducing waste.
