Main tasks and responsibilities in the project:

The innovative mechanochemical approach proposed by KIT will be focused on the delithiation of the black mass and its transformation into a transition-metal-rich composite, which will be used for further modification into battery-grade solids. In addition, the reactive milling process will target the extraction of high-purity Li from the black mass without highly miscible Na and/or other additional components used in typical hydrometallurgical methods.
