Sorting, Purification
And Rejuvenation

PNE's LPAS™ technology revolutionizes lithium-ion battery recycling with efficient, low-temperature sorting, purification, and repair, significantly reducing energy and chemical use.

LPAS™ Technology

Discover PNE's revolutionary Low-temperature Plasma-assisted Separation Process™ (LPAS™) – a breakthrough in sorting, purifying, and repairing cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries.

Upgraded Materials Single Crystal Si Anode Advanced Blackmass Cathode/Anode Separation Battery/Scraps Shredding Rejuvenation(MSAL™) Direct Recycled Materials Plasma Purification (LPAS™) LPAS™ PNE's patented Low-Temperature Plasma Assisted Separafion process deeply purifies the cathode material's surface, transforming it into recovered precursor (R-pCAM). PNE is unique in the integration of cathode/anode separation and production of active battery materials for new lithum-ion batteries using PNE's proprietary and established Cathode-to-Cathode™(C2C) technology. Upcycling™ PNE patented Up-Cycling™ technology can upgrade the chemical composition and morphology of outdated CAM, allowing rejuvenated CAM to meet evolving market reguirements. ABM™ Battery-Grade Cathoda (NCM811) Battery Grade Anode PNE's patented Micro-Molten Shell-As-sisted Lithiation process fully recovers the original crystal structure, morphology from R-pCAM and replenishes the lithium in the CAM.

PNE Direct Recycling Process vs. Traditional Process

The LPAS™ approach offers significant advantages over traditional methods, including reduced costs, enhanced energy efficiency, and superior environmental protection. By reusing, recycling, and rejuvenating lithium-ion batteries within an optimized system, PNE sets a new standard in sustainable battery recycling.
