Ascend Elements manufactures advanced battery materials using valuable elements reclaimed from spent lithium-ion batteries. Our Hydro-to-Cathode direct cathode precursor (pCAM)synthesis process transforms todays waste into high value materials for tomorrows EV batteries - a major advancement for the entire industry. We are building North America and Europes domestic supply of critical minerals through "urban mining" and innovative battery materials technologies - an infrastructure that retains critical minerals in country for supply chain security. We produce high-performance, engineered battery materials using the valuable elements found in end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap. Join us in elevating the performance, security, and reliability of domestic battery materials with the first pCAM production in North America and the first refined pCAM production in Europe.
