Japanese automaker Honda and battery supplies producer Princeton NuEnergy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the event of lithium-ion battery recycling applied sciences.
Since 2022, the businesses have carried out joint technical validation of Princeton NuEnergy’s plasma-based direct cathode-to-cathode recycling and upcycling applied sciences for lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap and end-of-life supplies.
By means of this work, Princeton NuEnergy has produced rejuvenated nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cathode energetic materials that has efficiency traits similar to major uncooked materials. This helps Honda’s long-term objectives for useful resource circularity and electrification, the businesses mentioned.
The strategic partnership will concentrate on collaborative validation tasks and the potential for future commercial-scale purposes that align Honda’s world electrification technique and Princeton NuEnergy’s purpose to develop cost-efficient manufacturing of battery-grade cathode energetic supplies via a closed-loop platform.
“Our work with Honda reveals sturdy technical alignment and a transparent pathway for advancing round battery supplies. This MOU displays a shared dedication to accelerating the following section of sustainable, high-performance materials manufacturing,” mentioned Dr. Chao Yan, co-founder and CEO of Princeton NuEnergy.
