Nth Cycle says its electroextraction tech significantly reduces transportation costs for Li-ion battery recycling

Charged EVs

My co-founder Chad Vecitis, who’s now our VP of R&D, was a full-time professor at Harvard and actually developed this technology over 10 years ago. We actually use a combination of electricity with water filtration. We actually use a combination of electricity with water filtration. We started the company in 2017.

ORNL team recommends focus on isostatic pressing for solid-state battery manufacturing

Green Car Congress

This process uses fluids and gases such as water, oil or argon inside a machine to apply consistent pressure across a battery component, creating a highly uniform material. Recently, it has been a tool for eliminating voids and anomalies in 3D-printed parts. However, its testing for battery applications has been limited. 2c01936

Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

The adsorbed water allows detection by neutrons. As the molten material cools and solidifies, the component is then subjected to significant thermal gradients, generating significant internal stresses throughout the part. Future projects combining these techniques will be required to fully use the potential of additive manufacturing.
