Prototype development for recycling spent LFP batteries into high-quality anode and cathode materials
About
The maxAh project focuses on the recycling of spent LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries to produce high-quality electrode materials. This initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry (Kyiv) and the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technology (Dnipro), ensuring a strong partnership in research and innovation.
The project offers specialized processes such as the discharging and dismantling of LFP batteries to extract the "black mass," followed by its laboratory-scale processing into recovered materials, including graphite, FePO₄, Li₂CO₃, LiFePO₄/C, as well as shredded aluminum and copper foil. This comprehensive approach supports sustainability and resource efficiency.
Moreover, maxAh is equipped to perform advanced physicochemical and electrochemical studies, such as:
This project is a significant step towards advancing battery recycling technologies and promoting environmental sustainability while contributing to the development of next-generation electrode materials.
