Pure Lithium secures US government funding

Pure Lithium Corporation, a Boston-based lithium metal battery technology company, has received funding from the US Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technology Office to scale the production of lithium metal anodes from recycled lithium.
The company is partnering with Argonne National Laboratory to recover lithium metal waste from industrial processes in the United States and repurpose it for battery production.
By using recycled lithium, Pure Lithium aims to create a closed-loop, fully domestic supply chain for its lithium metal vanadium oxide batteries. The initiative aligns with the company’s broader mission of developing a secure, low-cost lithium metal supply.
“Our core technology focuses on extracting lithium from brines and producing anodes, but our expertise in metallurgical processing made this opportunity a natural fit,” founder and CEO Emilie Bodoin said in a news release.
“We couldn’t pass up the chance to extract value from a waste stream using technology that complements our extensive patent portfolio,” she said.
Bodoin emphasized the importance of collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, citing the lab’s expertise and facilities as crucial for scaling the technology.
“External partnerships accelerate our path to market. We are committed to securing all commercially viable intellectual property related to lithium metal anode and battery production while strengthening the domestic supply chain.”
