Battery week 2026: The EV cathode race & battery-recycling | The chemical breakdown podcast

This week, we are celebrating Chemistry World's Battery Week with a special battery-themed episode! We discuss the race between cathode materials for electric vehicles and a new photocatalyst capable of turning plastic waste into hydrogen and value-added chemicals, with Neil Withers and Patrick Walter.

A race between competing battery cathode materials is heating up, the winner of which will shape the future of electric vehicles. But which will come out on top?

And, we discuss a new photocatalyst that could change the way we recycle plastics and battery acid, demonstrating how waste streams could be transformed into resources. We explore what this could mean for building a truly circular economy.
