Recycling of Lithium-ion Batteries

As lithium-ion battery use expands, efficient recycling is critical to ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials and reduce environmental impact. Recycling involves multiple steps, from dismantling and separation to recovery of valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Tescan imaging and analysis solutions provide the microstructural and compositional insights needed to optimize recycling workflows, increase recovery efficiency, and support the circular economy.

For Batteries Automated Mineralogy and Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Automated Mineralogy as a Novel Method for Black Mass Characterization

Conventional bulk analysis cannot resolve the complexity of black mass. With TIMA, every particle is treated as a data point, enabling detailed chemical and morphological classification to improve recycling outcomes.

Differentiate cathode chemistries such as LCO, NMC, NCA, and LFP
Quantify liberation and association across particle size fractions
Identify foils, graphite, and alloys for targeted recovery processes
