Aqua Metals is working to apply its lead recycling technology to the recycling of lithium-ion batteries and has established a research and development center in the United States for this purpose, the company said.

According to Aqua Metals, which has developed technology for plating ultra-high purity lead, early-phase testing has shown it could apply its AquaRefining methodology to plating metals found in lithium-ion batteries such as cobalt, nickel, and copper.
Lithium and manganese will be recovered in other forms, Aqua Metals added.
The move is designed to meet growing demand for critical metals driven by the global transition to electric vehicles, growth in internet data centers and alternative energy applications including solar, wind and grid-scale storage, the company noted.
