Steve Sloop has pioneered comprehensive methods to improve safety and efficiency in recycling lithium-ion batteries and materials. These include deactivation of lithium-ion batteries to eliminate hazards in transportation and storage; electrolyte extraction; electrode harvesting and separation; and cathode-healing™, which is a direct method to reintroduce lithium, structure, and performance to scrap electrodes.

With 40+ years’ experience in the mining industry, covering commodities that range from alumina to zircon, Adrian has operated on every continent, including Antarctica. He has run major gold, nickel and rare earths operations and overseen lithium exploration and the development of downstream battery technologies such as cathode powder production, cell manufacture and lithium-ion battery recycling. Adrian has been a driving force advancing technologies to improve supply and in doing so diminish the criticality of mineral resources. Adrian holds a BSc (Hons) from Melbourne University

Andrew Nissan is the senior director of strategic sourcing for Lyten with a focus on building the supply chain for their lithium-sulfur battery production. Lyten recently announced a 200MWh/year facility in San Leandro, CA, USA starting production in 2025 and a 10GWh/year facility in Reno, NV, USA starting production in 2027. Prior to working at Lyten Andrew was the director of materials engineering at Panasonic Energy of North America (PENA) in the Tesla Giga-Factory in Sparks, NV, USA and before that was a staff metallurgist for Tesla in Palo Alto, CA, USA. Andrew specializes in material characterization, fracture mechanics, metallurgical engineering, and physical metallurgy. Andrew received his PhD in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and his Bachelor of Science in Material Science and Engineering from the University of California, Davis.
