American Battery Technology Company announced that it has beefed up its research capabilities with new laboratories at the University of Nevada, Reno.
The new labs are part of the company’s Research Development Center housed at the Nevada Center for Applied Research (NCAR) at the university.
The center is focused on domestically and sustainably sourced battery metals extraction and qualification processes.
“The abilities to independently manufacture battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide, nickel, cobalt, and manganese products from our recycling operations, to manufacture battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide from our primary Nevada-based lithium-bearing sedimentary materials, and to be able to implement our own internally-developed analytical chemistry procedures to certify the quality of our specialty chemical products is a true enabler to accelerating the commercialization of our in-house developed processes and a differentiator within this industry,” ABTC CEO Ryan Melsert said in a statement.
“With this expansion into our fifth laboratory within the NCAR at UNR, we can now perform all of these operations within a single facility, further accelerating our path forward,” Melsert added.
ABTC has been conducting research at the NCAR since March 2021. The site now includes five private and shared laboratories totaling over 3,000 square feet.
The company is currently constructing its pre-commercial lithium-ion battery recycling plant in northern Nevada, and is undergoing a commercial scale development and demonstration project in collaboration with BASF and C4V through a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy in collaboration with the US Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), a subsidiary of the United States Council for Automotive Research (USCAR), which is a collaborative technology company comprised of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.
