Describe the underlying science and technology of the startup here. Ideally, it should provide a layman introduction of any key differentiators and/or novel or proprietary scientific breakthroughs being commercialised by the startup.
NEU Battery Materials uses a redox targeting electrochemical extraction to recovers lithium from black mass<ref>{{Cite web |title=Redox-targeting Electrochemical Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Technology {{!}} NEU Battery Materials |url=https://www.neumaterials.com/lfp-recycling-technology |access-date=2025-12-04 |website=www.neumaterials.com}}</ref>.  


==Intellectual Property==
Their patented process requires electricity as its only consumable, and utilises regenerative chemicals to avoid toxic waste and harsh acids. This technique produces battery-grade lithium which can be supplied back to battery manufacturers, and is the world’s first redox targeting recycling method capable of processing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries<ref>{{Cite web |title=NEU Battery Materials {{!}} SGInnovate |url=https://www.sginnovate.com/investments/neu-battery-materials |access-date=2025-12-04 |website=www.sginnovate.com}}</ref>.
The startup currently owns or licenses the following patents:
* ''Patent 1''
* ''Patent 2''
Participation in any technology transfer programmes may be worth describing here as well.


==Business Model==
The firm is currently operateing a pilot production plant in Singapore, where it recycles manufacturing scrap and end-of-life batteries from various regions and clients<ref>{{Cite web |title=NEU Battery Materials |url=https://www.neumaterials.com/news/neu-battery-materials-and-grst-announce-collaboration-agreement-to-drive-clean-and-sustainable-battery-manufacturing-and-recycling |access-date=2025-12-04 |website=www.neumaterials.com}}</ref>.
Describe the startup's business model here, with emphasis on any key differentiators or business model innovations.
