Problem
End-of-life lithium‑iron‑phosphate (LFP) batteries generate large volumes of black‑mass waste, and existing recycling methods often rely on acid leaching, high temperatures, and extensive wastewater treatment, making them costly, energy‑intensive, and environmentally burdensome. As the share of LFP batteries in the market grows, the lack of scalable, low‑impact recycling solutions threatens supply‑chain security for critical metals like lithium and iron.
Solution
Neumaterials offers a patented electrochemical recycling platform that extracts battery‑grade lithium hydroxide and iron directly from crushed LFP batteries without using acids, heat, or wastewater treatment. The process uses regenerative reagents, low‑voltage high‑current electrolysis, and modular stack units that can be added or removed to match demand. Extracted metals are produced at battery‑grade purity, enabling a closed‑loop supply chain where recovered materials can be fed back into new cell manufacturing. The technology is validated at the company’s Singapore facility and is designed for integration with existing logistics networks, allowing battery manufacturers, e‑mobility operators, and recyclers to meet emerging ESG and regulatory requirements with a single, clean recycling solution.
Target Audience
Primary customers are lithium‑ion battery manufacturers, e‑mobility and energy‑storage system providers, and dedicated e‑waste recycling firms seeking a scalable, low‑impact solution for LFP battery end‑of‑life processing.
