About this opportunity
Cathode Production from Recycled LIB Metals An innovative process that uses recycled lithium-ion batteries to produce high-quality cathode materials with a simple, cost-effective method, enhancing supply chain security and sustainability. The Challenge: As the global demand for electric vehicles (EVs) skyrockets, so does the need for efficient and sustainable battery technologies. The heart of this challenge lies in the critical metals�nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co)�that power these technologies, which are currently sourced from geopolitically unstable regions and are subject to volatile supply chains. Addressing these challenges, INL (Idaho National Laboratory) introduces an innovative solution, leveraging domestic resources to enhance the reliability and sustainability of battery supply cha...
