RecycLiCo and Nanoramic Announce Key Advancements in Sustainable Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Collaboration
04 December 2023 - 10:00PM
Following the recent announcement of strategic collaboration, with
the goal of optimizing the complete life cycle of lithium-ion
batteries,
RecycLiCo Battery Materials Inc.
(“RecycLiCo”), TSX.V: AMY, OTCQB: AMYZF, FSE: ID4, and
Nanoramic Laboratories (“Nanoramic”) are pleased
to disclose successful results from their lithium-ion battery
cathode recycling collaboration.
RecycLiCo’s laboratory test results have
demonstrated that their recycling process can efficiently treat
Nanoramic's innovative NMP-free and PVDF-free electrodes without
concern. Notably, Nanoramic’s electrodes can be recycled with fewer
processing steps compared to conventional PVDF-based electrodes,
resulting in energy and resource savings.
A key finding from the collaboration is the
ability to separate the cathode active material from the aluminum
foil more quickly and without chemical additives in the separation
stage of the process. This method not only improves environmental
friendliness, but it enhances RecycLiCo’s core recycling technology
in downstream stages.
RecycLiCo’s process has already demonstrated
that it can achieve 99% leach extraction of lithium, nickel,
manganese, and cobalt from cathode active material. However, the
absence of fluorine in the binder in Nanoramic's electrodes
simplifies downstream processing. By eliminating fluorine,
additional steps to remove this compound are no longer necessary,
streamlining the recycling process and further minimizing
environmental impact.
Nanoramic's NMP-free and PVDF-free electrodes
align seamlessly with global trends in moving away from per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in lithium-ion batteries,
showcasing that both companies are ahead of the curve.
As industries worldwide brace for stricter
environmental regulations, the advancements made by RecycLiCo and
Nanoramic enable the lithium-ion battery sector to not only meet
these emerging standards but to potentially offer economic
advantages by enhancing supply chain efficiency. The recent
developments further underscore the commitment of both
organizations to a cleaner, greener future for battery technology
and manufacturing.
