Fraunhofer IFAM is one of Europe’s leading research institutions for advanced materials and manufacturing technologies. The institute offers contract research along the entire value chain: from material development, shaping and adhesive bonding technologies, to surface functionalization and the development of complex systems. A key focus is on innovative solutions for circular economy, particularly the development of processes for material separation and recovery. One research priority is battery recycling, aiming to recover valuable raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel from used batteries. Through novel electrochemical processes, Fraunhofer IFAM helps conserve resources, reduce environmental impact, and build sustainable value chains.
