Ascend Elements manufactures advanced battery materials using valuable elements reclaimed from spent lithium-ion batteries. Our patented Hydro-to-Cathode™ process transforms today’s waste into high-value materials for tomorrow’s EV batteries — a giant step up in sustainability for the entire industry.
We help EV battery manufacturers and end users maximize value. Beyond producing commodity metals, we use advanced particle engineering techniques to transform used Li-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap into highly engineered precursor (pCAM) and cathode active materials (CAM) that meet client specifications.
Our full-service logistics, materials-tracking and customer support services simplify the pursuit of greater sustainability and higher value.
Our industry-first, Hydro-to-Cathode™ direct precursor synthesis process transforms a mixed input of discarded batteries and manufacturing scrap into active cathode battery material – raising the value of critical elements like lithium, cobalt, and nickel – while driving down cost and carbon emissions.
