Secondary battery utilization is one of the most promising strategies to solve the problem of battery recycling in the future. The objective of this research is to provide practical solutions for the screening and regrouping of retired lithium batteries. Firstly, a systematic clustering method is proposed.
In this paper, the retired Electric vehicles lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) was the research object, and a specific analysis of the recycling treatment and gradual use stages of power batteries were based on life cycle assessment. Different battery assessment scenarios were established according to the development of battery recycling in China.
This review extensively discusses the advancements in the direct recycling of LIBs, including battery sorting, pretreatment processes, separation of cathode and anode materials, and regeneration and quality enhancement of electrode materials.
Second life batteries (SLBs), also referred to as retired or repurposed batteries, are lithium-ion batteries that have reached the end of their primary use in applications such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems (Zhu et al., 2021a).
The overall direct recycling process for spent lithium-ion batteries: Route 1 from huge batteries; Route 2, black mass. The development of the recycling of batteries depends strongly on the current regulations and the medium and long-term needs in materials.
A life cycle analysis on recycling and secondary use of lithium-ion batteries. Based on the recycling in China, the LCA of different methods has been established. Compared to other recovery, the secondary use has the lowest environmental impact. Secondary use has the greatest impact on assessment results in dynamic situations.
