Battery Resourcers’ (BRs) patented Hydro to Cathode^TM recycling process can accept any lithium ion battery, regardless of size, shape, or chemistry, and recover commercial quality NMC cathode powder. The reason cathode powder must be recovered for sustainable/profitable recycling is it accounts for >50% of the batteries material value. Traditional recycling process only recover the metal value which is 30% of the batteries material value. The cathode powder has been independently tested by variety of labs. NMC111, NMC 532, NMC 622 and NMC 811 have been produced to commercial quality. The Hydro to Cathode^TM technology offers the ability to control composition, the particle size, tap density, and morphology of the recovered particles for either precursor or cathode materials. Thus the process is commercially viable while other processes such as direct recycling face significant challenges. This presentation discusses the benefits of the recycling process and the properties of the output material.
