Abstract Al and Cu foils are the irreplaceable current collectors for Li‐ion batteries (LIBs), have a great impact on performance. The sustainability cost of important factors to improve circular economy battery technologies, it can be achieved by effective recycling spent LIBs. Spent LIBs valuable resource with potential environmental hazards owing presence lot metals materials, urging researchers recycle/reuse via technologies. Of critical importance in this field, is industry/research efforts toward improving cathode materials; however, crucial problem efficient separation from electrode materials. In line, perspective offers different strategies involved materials suggests future directions develop methodologies.
