Understanding the impact of additives on cobalt leaching efficiency using a citric acid-based deep eutectic solvent† Recovery of critical metals such as cobalt from secondary sources is an effective way to reduce the supply risk of metals that are necessary in clean energy technologies, but such recovery processes need to be more benign. Hence, this study presents new insights into leaching cobalt using deep eutectic solvents under mild conditions.

A case study using spectroscopy and computational modelling for Co speciation in a deep eutectic solvent† Cobalt has a vital role in the manufacturing of reliable and sustainable clean energy technologies. However, the forecasted supply deficit for cobalt is likely to reach values of 150 kT by 2030. Therefore, it is paramount to consider end-of-life devices as secondary resources for cobalt.
