U of T Engineering researchers are using supercritical carbon dioxide to recover lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries

Multidisciplinary team led by Alumni Distinguished Professor Cristina Amon (MIE) includes 10 professors and 21 industry, academia, and government collaborators from across Canada and international

Professor Olivier Trescases (ECE) is developing micro courses in electric vehicles for approximately 300 Porsche Cars Canada dealer staff from across Canada

Professor Gisele Azimi (ChemE, MSE) is exploring aluminum as an alternative to lithium and cobalt to develop more cost-effective and reliable components for next-generation batteries

Researchers estimate that meeting U.N. climate targets would require up to 90% of U.S. passenger vehicles to be electric by 2050, a scenario considered unrealistic
