Aqua Metals produces cathode active material from recycled nickel
US lithium-ion battery recycling firm Aqua Metals has produced cathode active material (CAM) from domestically sourced, recycled nickel. Aqua Metals recovered high-purity nickel from spent lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap using its AquaRefining process. The company refined the recycled nickel into battery-grade nickel nitrate. One of its manufacturing partners then used a low-carbon, waste-reducing… Read more »
