Ascend Elements is an independent manufacturer of advanced battery materials using valuable elements reclaimed from spent lithium-ion batteries. Our patented Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process transforms today’s waste into high-value materials for tomorrow’s EV batteries — a giant step up in sustainability for the entire industry.
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.

As a climate tech company, we are committed to sustainability and the three pillars of ESG. We believe voluntary actions by industry are essential to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and to advance important social issues.
It’s our responsibility to rethink our use of energy and resources to help achieve net zero.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has recognized Ascend Elements’ commitment to setting near term and net zero company wide emissions reductions in line with climate science. This is the first step in our decarbonization journey with SBTi.
By committing to set a science-based net zero target aligned with SBTi requirements, we proudly join the United Nations’ Race to Zero campaign.
With Ascend Elements, the battery materials supply chain is looking up.
When it comes to meeting the needs of lithium-ion supply chains, Ascend Elements aims higher. We go beyond just recycling, instead upcycling discarded batteries into premium cathode active materials—all at a lower cost and carbon footprint. Our unique Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process unlocks hidden value to return critical materials back to lithium battery manufacturers.
