American Manganese's RecycLiCo process has upgraded the mix of battery materials in black mass into a ready-to-use cathode product with the exact ratios of nickel, manganese, and cobalt for the cathodes in NMC-622 lithium-ion batteries.
Beyond simply recycling lithium-ion battery materials to be fed into supply chains, American Manganese Inc. is demonstrating that its RecycLiCo process can upcycle the black mass from spent batteries into new cathode material ready to go directly back in new cells.
In the lithium-ion battery recycling process, black mass is a powdery material that is produced by crushing or shredding the electr...
