WESTBOROUGH, Mass., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascend Elements is sharing new details of its innovative Hydro-to-Cathode™ process technology, which helps explain how the company can transform critical elements from recycled lithium-ion batteries into new cathode materials that rival or exceed the performance of cathode materials made with virgin metals.

Key Points: 
  • They may need battery material with a specific particle size, crystallinity, or porosity to meet their requirements," said Eric Gratz, Ph.D., Co-founder and CTO of Ascend Elements.
  • The battery chemistry and elemental composition of a lithium-ion battery is largely defined by the cathode active material used in the battery.
  • Based in Westborough, Mass., Ascend Elements is revolutionizing the production of lithium-ion battery materials by establishing a clean and sustainable supply chain using recycled feedstock.
  • With fewer batteries going to landfill and a cleaner manufacturing process, Ascend Elements is taking the lithium-ion battery industry to a higher level with a sustainable, closed-loop battery economy.
