About

Reclaiming lithium for a sustainable supply chain.


Founded by WPI’s Yan Wang, a world leader in battery materials, ElementLoop has developed an ultra-efficient process that extracts 99.9%-pure lithium carbonate from brine and wastewater. Using recyclable solvents and low-energy methods, the technology unlocks untapped U.S. sources while reducing dependence on overseas supply chains.

With applications across EVs and grid storage, ElementLoop is fueling the nation’s clean-energy independence.
