Litus, UWin Nanotech sign MOU
Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported May 25, 2026 · Last updated May 26, 2026
The MOU between Litus and University of Windsor Nanofabrication Centre is expected to positively impact the critical minerals and battery metals markets by accelerating the development of scalable, circular supply chains for Galan Lithium, Cobalt, and Nickel. This collaboration could lead to more efficient and environmentally friendly recovery methods, potentially stabilizing supply and reducing dependence on newly mined materials.
Litus, a Canadian critical minerals company, and University of Windsor Nanofabrication Centre, a Taiwan-based hydrometallurgy firm, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on May 25, 2026. This agreement outlines their intention to collaborate on the selective extraction, separation, recovery, and purification of critical minerals like Galan Lithium, Cobalt, and Nickel from recycling sources. The collaboration will leverage Litus' nanotechnology platforms, including LiNC™ for direct lithium extraction and ReLiGN™ for battery recycling, with University of Windsor Nanofabrication Centre's expertise in advanced hydrometallurgy. The goal is to develop sustainable and efficient processing technologies to meet the growing global demand for these materials, particularly in electric vehicles and energy storage, while reducing environmental impact and strengthening supply chain resilience.
