In the pursuit for a sustainable future, recycling black mass from lithium-ion batteries is a vital step toward conserving resources and minimizing waste. The term Black Mass refers to the material obtained from processing used batteries into powdered material. The recycling of this material supports a greener supply chain by recovering valuable metals contained in the used batteries. These critical elements such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are essential to powering the future of our electrified economy. This process reduces reliance on virgin materials and promotes environmental stewardship by turning waste into opportunity.
We are proud to introduce AnalytiChem Black Mass Certified Reference Materials. These materials have been specially prepared for accurate elemental analysis of recycled lithium-ion battery materials. ISO 17034 accredited and matrix-matched, these CRMs provide a reliable benchmark for laboratories to calibrate equipment and validate their analytical methods when assessing the composition of recycled battery materials. As the demand for electric vehicles and energy storage sources grows, so does the need for effective recycling processes to recover valuable metals. The AnalytiChem Black Mass CRM can be used as a calibration standard or a quality control check to ensure the accuracy of the elemental analysis of these materials and enhance the reliability of the recycling supply chain.
