Battery materials and recycling

The lithium-ion battery market is booming, driven by the rapid development of electric vehicles and storage solutions for renewables. The need to improve the performance, durability and profitability of the batteries that power these technologies while meeting environmental standards calls for continuous innovation.

Cathode and anode materials must evolve quickly to meet market demands, and efficient recycling processes must be developed to minimize waste, recycle critical materials and promote a sustainable circular economy.
