"Scientists at the ReCell Center... developed an innovative process for separating the valuable materials that make up the cathode... a recycler must take a mixture of lithium metal oxides — lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide... etc. — and separate out each in order for those materials to be reused... negligible impact on the electrochemical performance of the materials... high purity levels (95 percent or above)"
