Development of direct recycling processes (BATT4EU Partnership)
Funds research into direct recycling processes that recover high-purity materials from low-value battery chemistries like LFP and sodium-ion.
This Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission is a Batt4EU Partnership topic funding research into direct recycling processes that recover high-purity materials from low-value battery chemistries like LFP and sodium-ion. Proposals are expected to demonstrably improve recycling efficiency for battery chemistries with low intrinsic metal value, cut the energy the recycling process…
The Commission wants direct recycling technologies that selectively recover high-purity active materials from battery electrodes, targeting economically challenging chemistries such as LFP, LMFP and sodium-ion, plus gigafactory production scrap. It wants proposals to develop automated sorting and handling, cell-design recommendations, and techno-economic and life-cycle analyses showing a competitive edge over conventional recycling.
