Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AQMS) is one of the Best Battery Recycling Stocks to Buy. On June 11, Aqua Metals said it was selected as the industrial partner on a U.S. Department of Energy-funded research program led by Idaho National Laboratory to advance next-generation battery recycling technologies. The project will evaluate electrochemically driven alternatives to conventional solvent extraction for separating nickel and cobalt from lithium-ion battery recycling streams. Aqua Metals will contribute battery recycling expertise, pilot-scale operating experience, and infrastructure from its Tahoe-Reno Innovation Center.

The company said the program supports its broader effort to reduce reliance on chemical-heavy refining methods by using electrochemical process integration and reagent regeneration. Aqua Metals also said its AquaRefining platform has been demonstrated at pilot scale on multiple battery chemistries using real battery-derived feedstocks, including lithium iron phosphate and nickel manganese cobalt batteries. The company does not expect the project to materially affect near-term financial results, but the selection adds federal validation to its recycling technology platform.

Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AQMS) is a Nevada-based company focused on lithium battery recycling and critical minerals recovery through its AquaRefining technology platform.
