Main tasks and responsibilities in the project:

The Electrochemical Excellence Centre (ELEC) at VITO develops electro conversion processes for the electrification of the industry, utilizing green electricity to produce chemical building blocks and e-fuels or to upcycle critical resources. The focus of the team is to invent new pathways and bring these innovations to the market. Gas-diffusion electrocrystallization (GDEx) is one of the technologies developed within ELEC. GDEx will be developed up to TRL-5, to recover critical metals released from the black mass of Li-ion batteries. Simultaneously, fresh active materials will be synthesized, sustainably.
