Momentum confirms its tech can produce commercial-grade battery materials at scale

US-based Momentum Technologies says it can deliver commercial-quality battery materials at scale after successfully validating its extraction technology.

The company announced Monday that its demonstration unit in Carrollton, Texas, has achieved commercial-grade purity and yield within the first year of the facility’s opening, marking a milestone in the company’s scale-up journey to full commercial readiness.

Momentum said its proprietary membrane solvent extraction (MSX) technology represents the culmination of a systematic process that began with pilot-scale validation and has now been proven at demonstration scale.

The technology, it added, has consistently produced high-purity nickel, cobalt and lithium streams from end-of-life batteries, with yields exceeding 90% and product purity over 99%, meeting quality specifications required by battery manufacturers, including battery-grade purity for nickel sulfate.

In April, Momentum was awarded on TIME’s list of America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025.

“This facility was designed to validate our process at scale, and today’s results confirm its success,” Momentum CEO Mahesh Konduru said in a news release.

“This achievement demonstrates that our technology is commercially viable and ready for widespread deployment. We’ve proven that a domestic, circular supply chain for critical minerals is more than possible, it’s operational and scalable for industrial applications.”

Momentum said its commercial expansion plans include an additional facility in Ohio.
