Australian Circular’s technology will be able to recycle spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with mixed chemistry using just two steps. The process will recover materials to use as energy storage electrodes and value-added products for diverse sectors. This is achieved through an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method based on pyrolysis and electrodeposition using recyclable reagents.
