What are the technical difficulties in repurposing EV batteries?

Technical difficulties include evaluating and testing the SoH of spent batteries, setting technical standards based on different designs since the EV power and energy storage batteries follow different technical standards, and the vital need to address safety issues during the segregation and repurposing process.

Why is battery recycling so difficult?

However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.

How do batteries affect human health?

In addition, the metals and electrolytes in batteries can harm human health. For example, the cobalt may get into the human body via underground water and other channels, causing symptoms such as intestinal disorders, deafness, and myocardial ischemia.

How can batteries be sustainable?

Undeniably, securing sustainability in batteries should not focus only on the end of life (EoL) but throughout the life cycle of the batteries. Additionally, the responsibility of establishing circularity in batteries should not depend solely on industries and producers but should involve consumers as well.

Should batteries be recollected for reprocessing?

This information is preferable in ensuring all the batteries are recollected for reprocessing, considering that rechargeable batteries in portable electronics are mostly disposed of irresponsibly by the public. Besides, supporting policies that instill involvement of the public in recycling batteries should also be enforced.

Should lithium ion batteries be repurposed?

For example, LIBs in EVs are mostly disposed when the capacity retention is at 80% after repetitive charge/discharge. 2,18 Repurposing the residual 80% lifetime of LIBs for other applications would significantly extend the lifespan of the battery, reducing the need for new batteries to be manufactured.
