We have formed a consortium with research groups from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain), the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), Tomas Bata University in Zlín (Czech Republic) and the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences (Germany) to recover metals from end-of-life NMC and LFP batteries. We are looking for a group working on the use of recovered metals in the manufacture of new cathodes, or in the case of LiOH, in the relithiation of cathodes, and which may be interested in joining the consortium
