【宁德时代旗下子公司在2026年欧洲发明家奖上荣获两项大奖】
来自宁德时代（CATL）旗下子公司Brunp Recycling的中国团队凭借一项名为“定向回收技术”的突破性技术，在2026年欧洲发明家奖上荣获两项大奖。该技术并非将废旧电池粉碎成原材料，而是保持正极材料的完整结构，从而回收99.6%的镍、钴和锰以及96.5%的锂，所有回收物纯度均足以用于制造全新电池。此外，该技术还能减少73%的酸碱用量，并将回收正极材料的碳足迹降低61%。
A Chinese team from Brunp Recycling — a subsidiary of battery giant CATL — just won two honours at the 2026 European Inventor Award for a breakthrough called Directional Recycling Technologies. Instead of smashing old batteries down to raw chemicals, it keeps the cathode material's structure intact — recovering 99.6% of nickel, cobalt and manganese and 96.5% of lithium, all pure enough to build brand-new batteries. It also slashes acid and alkali use by 73% and cuts the carbon footprint of recycled cathodes by 61%. Here's how it works. http://t.cn/AX9trxl0
