Recycling

Direct Regeneration of Cathodes Importance of direct regeneration

Lower energy consumption compared to hydrometallurgy/pyrometallurgy.

Preserves the crystal structure and morphology of cathode materials.

Reduces chemical waste and processing steps

Enables high-value recycling of LFP, LMO, NMC, NCA, LCO.

ROAD MAP FOR LAB TO INDUSTRIAL SCALE

Economically viable: Lower energy consumption vs. conventional routes. Technically superior: Preserves crystal structure enabling multi-chemistry recycling. Environmentally sustainable: Minimal waste and reduced processing complexity.
