Core Technology

Built on HUST technology transfer, our ambient-temperature solid-phase electrolysis delivers new environmental and economic value for spent lead-acid battery recycling — clean, circular and high-value.

Technology Principles

Our solid-phase electrolysis uses a "two-step" process to convert spent lead-acid batteries directly into high-purity lead at ambient temperature and pressure — breaking away from traditional high-temperature smelting.

  • Ambient Solid-Phase Electrolysis

    Electrolysis at ambient temperature and pressure, breaking the high-temperature smelting bottleneck with a clean, efficient process.

  • "Two-Step" Direct Conversion

    The two-step process converts spent lead-acid batteries directly into high-purity lead in one simple, environmentally friendly extraction — ready for semiconductors, nuclear and other high-end manufacturing.

  • Tandem Cells · Flexible Capacity

    Tandem electrolytic cells can be started or stopped flexibly to match daily capacity targets — energy-efficient and highly scalable.

Technical Barriers

  • HUST Technology Transfer

    Exclusive partnership with Huazhong University of Science and Technology; 9 core patents already transferred, backed by a top-tier academic institution.

  • 9 Core Invention Patents

    Covering the complete process and equipment technology route, with utility model patents continuously filed — a robust IP moat.

  • Encrypted Core Parameters · Hard to Reverse-Engineer

    Core technical parameters are encrypted, making reverse engineering extremely difficult. The team founded China's electrochemical environmental engineering discipline and has been validated across the full process from lab to pilot line.

Environmental Value

  • No Secondary Pollution

    Zero exhaust gas, closed-loop water recycling and full resource recovery of solid waste throughout the process — no waste water, gas or residue discharge.

  • Aligned with National Circular Economy Strategy

    High-value recovery of spent lead-acid batteries aligns with the circular economy, the "dual carbon" goals and China's 15th Five-Year Plan — with sustained policy tailwinds.

Pilot Facility

From pilot to industrialization, every step of the technology route is validated in real-world settings.
