German carmaker Audi and utility EnBW are setting up an electric car battery operation at EnBW's Heilbronn plant to build scaleable storage facilities by the end of this year, drawing on retired batteries to help power grids. Electric vehicle battery recycling and reuse has become a priority for car and battery makers while renewable energy compani...

A method to develop super-capacitors from durian and jackfruit waste has been developed by a team of researchers from the University of Sydney.

An Indian-origin researcher at University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney has received $3.3 million grant to transform waste and resource recovery industry by developing advanced manufacturing capabilities that focus on small-scale processing of materials produced from battery and consumer wastes.

A sneaky piece of advertising software may be responsible for driving up millions of Android users' mobile data usage and wasting their device's battery life.

After years of dismantling discarded televisions and laptops, a Shanghai recycling plant is readying itself for a new wave of waste: piles of exhausted batteries from the surge of electric vehicles hitting China's streets.

Researchers have developed a new ammonia-based battery system to convert low-grade waste heat into electricity. Low-grade waste heat is an artifact of many energy-generating methods. In automobiles, waste heat generated in winter is diverted to run the vehicle heating system, but in the summer.
