    Leitat has launched at its headquarters in Terrassa a new laboratory specialized in direct battery recycling<\/strong>, a pioneering infrastructure designed to address one of the major challenges of the energy transition: what to do with batteries at the end of their life cycle<\/strong> and how to recover their key materials for reuse.<\/p>

    This new space makes it possible to transform waste into resources<\/strong>, a concept that Leitat summarizes under the slogan \u201cFrom waste to watts<\/em>\u201d: turning used batteries into materials capable of generating new energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    From waste to a new battery: all in one place<\/h4>

    The laboratory has been designed to cover the entire battery management and treatment process<\/strong>, from the moment they arrive as waste to the recovery of the materials they contain.<\/p>

    Specifically, the new facility integrates capabilities that enable:<\/p>

    • the reception and safe storage<\/strong> of used batteries,<\/li>
    • the controlled and automated dismantling<\/strong> of packs, modules and cells,<\/li>
    • the diagnosis and classification of batteries<\/strong> according to their chemistry and state of health,<\/li>
    • and the separation and recovery of active materials<\/strong> for reuse.<\/li><\/ul>

      The entire process is carried out under strict criteria of safety, efficiency and sustainability<\/strong>, both from an industrial and environmental perspective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      What \u201cdry process\u201d battery recycling means and why it matters<\/h4>

      One of the main values of the new laboratory is its commitment to direct battery recycling through a dry process<\/strong>, an innovative approach different from conventional methods.<\/p>

      Unlike traditional systems, which often melt materials at high temperatures or use large amounts of chemicals and liquids, direct dry recycling allows:<\/p>

      • direct recovery of active battery materials<\/strong> (mainly cathodes and anodes),<\/li>
      • preservation of their structure and functional value,<\/strong><\/li>
      • and minimization or elimination of liquids and complex chemical processes<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>

        This results in cleaner processes, lower energy consumption and reduced environmental impact<\/strong>, while making better use of critical materials such as lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese.<\/p>

        This approach enables the study and development of solutions both for end-of-life batteries and for waste and leftover materials from manufacturing processes.<\/p>

        In both cases, the objective is to recover high-value raw materials without having to chemically break them down into basic elements<\/strong>, thus facilitating their direct reuse in new batteries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        A unique infrastructure in Catalonia and Spain<\/h4>

        The new Leitat laboratory is the first infrastructure in Catalonia and Spain<\/strong> to integrate, in a single space:<\/p>

        • Technologies to identify battery chemistry without contact<\/strong>.<\/li>
        • Automated and robotic dismantling<\/strong> of electric vehicle batteries down to electrode level.<\/li>
        • Recovery of active materials from anodes and cathodes<\/strong> for reuse.<\/li><\/ul>

          This combination of capabilities positions Leitat as a key player in the development of advanced recycling technologies and circular economy solutions for the battery sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          A strong track record in battery technologies<\/h4>

          Leitat has extensive experience in the field of battery technologies<\/strong>. Since the creation of its Energy Storage area in 2009, the center has participated in 75 R&D projects<\/strong>, of which 64%<\/strong> have been developed with companies and 36%<\/strong> correspond to European and national research projects.<\/p>

          In addition, Leitat has coordinated 10 European projects<\/strong> under recent EU framework programs (FP7, Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe) and has worked with 36 companies across ten different industrial sectors<\/strong>, from mining and materials to energy, transport, recycling and artificial intelligence.<\/p>

          Since 2021 alone, the center has secured \u20ac6.58 million<\/strong> in projects related to battery recycling, consolidating this line as one of the emerging areas of its technological strategy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          The new laboratory will be jointly operated by Leitat\u2019s Energy Storage (ES) and Robotics & Automations (ROB)<\/strong> areas.<\/p>

          This collaboration combines deep knowledge in electrochemical technologies with expertise in industrial robotics and process automation<\/strong>. Thanks to this integration, Leitat can cover the entire process, from battery classification to robotic dismantling and recovery of critical materials, transferring solutions directly applicable to industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          A strategic challenge for the energy transition<\/h4>

          The expansion of electric mobility and energy storage systems is driving a strong increase in global battery demand. This growth raises key challenges:<\/p>

          • the availability of critical materials,<\/li>
          • waste management,<\/li>
          • and the need for more efficient and sustainable recycling technologies.<\/li><\/ul>

            In this context, automation and battery valorization<\/strong> become essential to move towards a circular economy in the energy sector<\/strong>, reduce external dependency and strengthen European industrial sovereignty.<\/p>

            In the words of Jordi Cabrafiga, General Director of Leitat:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe development of technologies for battery recycling and valorization will be key to ensuring a more sustainable and resilient energy value chain. With this new laboratory, Leitat strengthens its capacity to generate applied knowledge and transfer technological solutions to industry<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
