Building robust materials from start may ease critical mineral risks, perspective argues‎

Researchers at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) outline in a perspective paper how high-performance materials for batteries, hydrogen technologies, wind turbines, energy conversion, chemical processes and modern electronics can be designed to be more sustainable, safer and more resource-efficient in the future. This is intended to address growing dependencies on critical raw materials, limited recyclability and performance losses in practical use.
