A new, patented EV battery recycling process from RecycLiCo is promising to turn 'black mass' into the new 'black gold.'
RecycLiCo has a unique patented process to recycle and upcycle 99% of the cathode material in an EV’s li-ion battery, turning “black mass” into a new “black gold.”Electric vehicles promise emissions-free driving wrapped in a veneer of environmental friendliness, but EV detractors are quick to point out their shortcomings — not the least of which being the massive carbon cost of mining the battery metals that make up the core of modern li-ion car batteries.
Theoretically, that is, because it’s proven really difficult for most battery recyclers to practically recycle and upcycle the valuable cathode materials found in black mass. However, for those who can, black mass might just be the new “black gold.”The “black mass” that we’re referring to is the residual compound formed by “shredding” li-ion batteries that have reached the end of their usable life cycle.
In independent testing conducted by a major battery supplier, lithium-ion battery cells using RecycLiCo’s high-nickel pCAM with N83 and N90 compositions were equivalent to cells made using mined material, in metrics such as purity, tap density, particle distribution, particle size, and surface area.
Meseldzija comments, “Our upcycled materials have showcased their value, emphasizing RecycLiCo’s potential to shape a circular battery supply chain.”With RecycLiCo’s process validated by various third-parties, it was time to start putting it to practical use, and the company is doing just that.is operating a state-of-the-art demo facility in Vancouver, Canada, generating top-tier battery materials for industry-leading brands — but that’s not all.
