Altilium – Recovery of Anode and Cathode Battery Materials for Validation in Low-Carbon Pouch Cells
Demonstrating EV battery cells produced with cathode and anode materials recovered from EV battery waste
Addressing the need for secure and sustainable supply of electric vehicle battery raw metals, this 12-month project will demonstrate innovative processes for the recovery and production of high-value anode and cathode materials, and integration of the technology within a UK battery supply chain.
The project will combine recovery of cathode and anode materials at pilot scale using Altilium’s proprietary hydrometallurgical processes with production and testing of battery cells at WMG and validation with JLR.
The project builds on the success of their previous ARMD3 (now known as Demonstrate) collaboration, where they demonstrated the UK’s first EV battery cells produced using recycled cathode active materials. With the inclusion of recycled graphite in this new project, the UK will now have a viable route to produce both cathode and anode materials domestically, an essential step for car manufacturers seeking supply chain resilience and sustainable battery materials.
Project highlights:
- The project will demonstrate that end-of-life EV batteries can be processed to recover high-value materials for seamless integration into next-generation battery production, reducing reliance on imported materials and cutting carbon emissions.
