Sustainable nickel enabled by hydrogen-based reduction

Nature, Published online: 30 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08901-7A one-step process using fossil-free hydrogen-plasma-based reduction is used to extract nickel from low-grade ore and create high-grade ferronickel alloys, providing a more sustainable and environmentally friendly method for obtaining nickel.
