Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Princeton NuEnergy, Inc. (PNE) to advance discussions on collaboration around next-generation lithium-ion battery recycling technologies. The MOU reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the circular battery materials supply chain and supporting U.S. energy independence through innovative recycling and rejuvenation pathways.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, Honda and PNE have conducted joint technical validation of PNE\u2019s plasma-based Direct Recycling and Upcycling technologies for lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap and end-of-life materials. Through this collaboration, PNE has successfully produced rejuvenated NMC cathode active materials with performance characteristics comparable to virgin materials, reinforcing Honda\u2019s long-term vision for resource circularity and electrification.<\/p>\n

The MOU establishes a framework for continued collaboration, including additional validation projects and the potential exploration of future commercial-scale applications. This agreement aligns Honda\u2019s global electrification strategy with PNE\u2019s closed-loop platform for cost-efficient production of battery-grade cathode active materials.<\/p>\n

At Honda Xcelerator Ventures, we collaborate with startups working on sustainability and advanced materials. PNE\u2019s closed-loop battery materials platform supports efforts to build a more resilient supply chain and improve resource circularity.<\/p>\n

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with PNE as we explore further validation projects and potential pathways toward commercial-scale applications.<\/p>\n

About Princeton NuEnergy, Inc.<\/strong>
\nPNE is an advanced materials manufacturer and the most cost-effective, energy- and capital-efficient U.S. producer of battery-grade cathode active material (CAM) for lithium-ion batteries. Built on a proprietary, closed-loop platform, PNE’s high-performing technology spans multiple high-growth materials businesses, including Direct Recycling (Cathode-to-Cathode\u00ae), Advanced Black Mass\u2122 production, and Upcycled CAM \u2014 strengthening the domestic battery supply chain and supporting U.S. energy independence and national security priorities.<\/p>\n
