Official Description

Overview This technology introduces a dimethyl ether (DME)-driven method for rejuvenating end-of-life lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells, with the goal of restoring electrochemical performance without dismantling the cell into constituent materials. Conventional LIB recycling requires mechanical disassembly, crushing, and downstream hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical separation of anode, cathode, and electrolyte fractions, followed by reconstruction of new components. The DME-driven approach i...
