Aqua Metals selected for DOE-funded battery recycling research program
Aqua Metals, Inc. has been selected as the industrial partner for a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-funded research program led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This collaboration aims to advance next-generation battery recycling technologies by evaluating electrochemically driven alternatives for separating nickel and cobalt from lithium-ion battery recycling streams. Aqua Metals will leverage its expertise, pilot-scale operations, and Tahoe-Reno Innovation Center infrastructure for the project, which reinforces its position as a technology leader and highlights the versatility of its platform across various battery chemistries. The company does not anticipate a material impact on its near-term financial results from this project.
