Atlis Motor Vehicles announced that it has entered into an agreement with Li-Cycle Corp. Creating cube-shaped, tabless prismatic cells, ATLIS is taking a unique approach to the battery management system. The ability to charge in less than 15 minutes requires getting electrons into a battery quickly and managing thermal loads. ATLIS cells are heated to a high temperature at the beginning of the charge to prevent dendrites, lithium formations that can grow inside the battery and cause cell failure, then cooled rapidly at the end to increase life of the cell. Li-Cycle recovers critical materials from lithium-ion batteries and reintroduces them back into the supply chain. Li-Cycle utilizes its commercial lithium-ion battery recycling Spoke & Hub Technologies? to recycle any lithium-ion battery regardless of its chemistry or form factor, recovering up to 95% of all critical materials with the output going back into battery production, closing the loop on this supply chain.
