Description

This solicitation offers licensing rights to a novel dimethyl‑ether (DME) driven rejuvenation technology that restores the electrochemical performance of end‑of‑life lithium‑ion battery cells without disassembly. The technology aims to simplify battery recycling by eliminating shredding, separation, and material reconstruction steps, potentially reducing energy use, reagent consumption, and capital costs for recycling facilities. Interested parties may request a license to apply the process to spent cells from consumer electronics, stationary storage, or transportation applications, and to integrate the method into existing recycling or reuse operations. • Operates on fully assembled LIB cells, preserving existing electrode architecture. • Targets a lower‑intensity recycling pathway, reducing energy and reagent inputs versus conventional hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical methods. • Enables direct reuse of rejuvenated cells, supporting domestic battery circularity and secondary‑use markets.
