Princeton NuEnergy (PNE) is a US-based, innovative clean-tech startup that was spun out of Princeton University in 2019 and launched commercial production in 2022. PNE is quickly revolutionizing the critical materials supply chain with its patented direct recycling technology for lithium-ion batteries.

Using a novel low-temperature plasma process, PNE successfully reclaims high-value materials, including rejuvenated cathode and anode materials suitable for direct reintroduction into cell manufacturing. Compared to conventional methods, PNE's process offers low cost, low carbon footprint, and no hazardous emissions – all at a high recycling efficiency rate.
