Spoke products

At Li-Cycle’s Spokes, lithium-ion batteries of all formats and states of charge are processed through a mechanical process that breaks down the batteries to inert materials that minimize the risk of fire. The resulting materials are separated into two main product lines: battery materials (black mass) and mixed copper/aluminum.

Black Mass
Battery materials (black mass)

The Spoke produces a product that consists of a mix of cathode and anode battery materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt, as well as graphite, copper and aluminum.

Copper, aluminum, iron - mixture
Mixed copper/aluminum

The Spoke produces copper and aluminum metals from the processing of lithium-ion batteries. These are primarily made up of the foils found within the lithium-ion batteries.

background

Hub products

At Li-Cycle’s planned Hubs, black mass is expected to be run through the hydrometallurgical circuit to produce critical battery materials, including battery-grade lithium carbonate and MHP. By introducing the recycled critical materials back into the lithium-ion battery supply chain, Li-Cycle closes the loop in a way that is economically sustainable and helps secure domestic energy independence.
