Aqua Metals produces first U.S.-sourced CAM

Aqua Metals (AQMS) has worked with leading industry partners to successfully produce the first-ever cathode active material, CAM, made from 100% domestically sourced, recycled nickel. This achievement represents a critical step toward establishing a cleaner, more secure domestic battery supply chain in the U.S. “This milestone confirms that Aqua Metals’ technology enables the reclamation and reuse of critical minerals entirely within the United States, supporting both energy security and the clean energy economy,” said Steve Cotton, President & CEO of Aqua Metals. “We have demonstrated that a circular supply chain for battery materials is commercially viable today, and we are committed to scaling this solution to meet the growing demand for sustainable, high-performance battery components.”
