Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. But the start of a cleaner way of recycling is that you grind them up and separate the materials, and you create this material called black mass, which looks like a black sandy material. They need to contain them.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels.
