Our cutting-edge science has enabled electric vehicles to travel farther, electronic devices to last longer, and renewable energy to be integrated into the nation’s electric grid. We work to transfer battery innovations to the marketplace, providing processes, materials, performance testing data, and finished cells to industries ranging from transportation to manufacturing. We have a portfolio of more than 250 patented advanced cathode, anode, electrolyte, and additive components for lithium-ion, lithium-air, lithium-sulfur, sodium-ion, and flow batteries.

Through decarbonization we develop innovative energy storage materials and zero-carbon fuels, expand the boundaries of carbon-free sources of energy such as nuclear and renewable power, and boost energy efficiency across sectors. We advance membrane and sorbent technology to capture carbon from the air and from industrial sources, and explore ways to use captured carbon in Sustainable Aviation Fuels and other fuels and sequester carbon in soil and biomass. We conduct research in thermal energy storage, waste heat recovery and process electrification.

We have a robust portfolio of experimental and modeling activities to support the Make, Use, Recycle aspects of a circular economy. GREET and GCMat models address emissions and critical materials supply chain. We are working on polymer upcycling and reducing the environmental impact of waste plastics. We are developing methods for carbon capture and utilization including materials to minerals. We are using our autonomous discovery lab to design catalysts with reduced use of precious metals.

Our continuous flow capabilities span small scale to large scale where we can process up to one kilograms per hour. We have ML/AI capabilities and in-line characterization to improve productivity and accelerate scaling of nano-materials with high precision. We can work in a variety of atmospheres and have solvent distillation capabilities to result in pure products.

Large facility with bench to pilot scale (100 liter) batch reactors, continuous flow synthesis, electrospinning, Taylor vortex reactors, printable electronics, electrodialysis, flame spray pyrolysis and associated equipment. We have the people and world-class facilities at scale to handle all your material and chemical needs.

In addition to improvements to hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical recycling processes, we are working to develop direct recycling technologies for EV batteries. Direct recycling is the recovery, regeneration, and reuse of battery components directly without breaking down the chemical structure. By maintaining the process value in the original battery components, a lower-cost re-constituted material can be supplied to battery manufacturers. ReCell is evaluating ways to enhance the sustainability and adoption of used batteries through safe transportation, second life challenges and opportunities, battery design for easier recycling.
