Can lithium-ion batteries be recycled?

With the significant rise in the application of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electromobility, the amount of spent LIBs is also increasing. LIB recycling technologies which conserve sustainable resources and protect the environment need to be developed for achieving a circular economy.

Are electric vehicle batteries a low-carbon future?

Understanding the environmental impact of electric vehicle batteries is crucial for a low-carbon future. This study examined the energy use and emissions of current and future battery technologies using nickel-manganese-cobalt and lithium-iron-phosphate.

Why is lithium-ion battery demand growing?

Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB manufacturers to venture into cathode active material (CAM) synthesis and recycling expands the process segments under their influence.

What are lithium-ion batteries used for?

Over 60% of lithium produced in 2019 were utilised for the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the compact and high-density energy storage devices crucial for low-carbon emission electric-based vehicles (EVs) and secondary storage media for renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

Could lithium-ion battery recycling become a stand-alone industry?

Moreover, the skyrocketing demand projected for lithium and cobalt could make LIBs recycling more profitable and economically viable as a stand-alone industry (Dewulf et al., 2010, Manivannan, 2016, Wei et al., 2018). 4.1. Global status of end-of-life lithium-ion battery recycling

What are lithium ion batteries?

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the leading energy storage systems in BEVs and are projected to grow significantly in the foreseeable future. They are composed of a cathode, usually containing a mix of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese; an anode, made of graphite; and an electrolyte, comprised of lithium salts.
