Description:
OnTo Technology, working with the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute at Oregon State University, is working to develop a means to recycle material from commonly used Lithium Cobalt Oxide rechargeable batteries. To our knowledge this is the first effort to product battery grade material from end-of-life cells.
This Gap funding project seeks to produce lithium-ion batteries manufactured with OnTo’s refurbished positive electrode material. Funds from this collaboration will be used to extract materials from spent LCO batteries, fabricate new batteries, and perform functional and safety testing.
