| Abstract | Population growth and urban development are increasing the global demand for raw materials. This rising demand creates supply risks that can affect the economy and national security. Critical metals are especially important because they are needed for clean energy, transportation, defense systems, and modern electronics. This CAREER project studies an electrochemical method to recover critical metals from waste materials. The method uses controlled reactions to dissolve and separate metals from |
