At the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference – AABC Europe 2025, held from 23 to 26 June in Mainz, Germany. AABC Europe is a leading industry event that brings together global EV battery manufacturers, raw material suppliers, OEMs, and key stakeholders to foster collaboration, innovation, and future technology development.
RESPECT Project Dissemination
Our partners from CIDETEC presented a poster showcasing work conducted within the project on a direct recycling route for graphite recovery from spent batteries and production scraps.
Ane Muguruza Sánchez introduced a sustainable method for directly recycling graphite, a valuable material often lost in traditional lithium-ion battery recycling processes, which can account for up to 21% of the cell mass.
The research focused on optimising a combination of mild acid leaching and calcination to recover clean, regenerated graphite suitable for reuse in new battery manufacturing. Through a design-of-experiments (DOE) approach and life cycle assessment (LCA), the team identified the most efficient and environmentally friendly process conditions, contributing to the development of a circular and sustainable battery economy.
