CMI doctoral student Venkat Roy and his work with chemists on a new method of lithium extraction are described in a story from CMI Team member Purdue University, "EEE Ph.D. student Venkat Roy’s life cycle assessments on new lithium extraction tech move us toward a circular economy." Using various analyses, including a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), they found the new method uses one-third the material and one-third the energy compared to standard processes.
