The expansion of lithium-ion batteries from consumer electronics to larger-scale transport and energy storage applications has made understanding the many mechanisms responsible for battery degradation increasingly important.
Economically viable electric vehicle lithium-ion battery recycling is increasingly needed; however routes to profitability are still unclear. We present a comprehensive, holistic techno-economic model as framework directly compare locations and processes, providing key tool for cost optimization in an international economy. show that can be economically viable, with cost/profit ranging from (−21.43 - +21.91) $·kWh−1 but strongly depends on transport distances, wages, pack design method....
Predicting lithium-ion battery degradation is worth billions to the global automotive, aviation and energy storage industries, improve performance safety reduce warranty liabilities. However, very few published models of explicitly consider interactions between more than two mechanisms, none do so within a single electrode. In this paper, first attempt directly couple mechanisms in negative electrode reported. The results are used map different pathways through complicated path dependent...
Abstract Physics-based electrochemical battery models derived from porous electrode theory are a very powerful tool for understanding lithium-ion batteries, as well improving their design and management. Different model fidelity, thus complexity, is needed different applications. For example, in we can afford longer computational times the use of computers, while real-time control (e.g. electric vehicles) need to perform fast calculations using simple devices. this reason, simplified that...

At point of end-of-life (EOL), there is range potential options—remanufacturing, reuse recycling. Diagnostics play significant role evaluating state-of-health condition batteries, improvements to diagnostic techniques evaluated. present, manual disassembly dominates EOL disposal,...

Potassium-ion (PIBs) are promising given its...
The pursuit of low-carbon transport has significantly increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. However, the rapid increase in battery manufacturing, without adequate consideration carbon emissions associated with their production and material demands, poses threat shifting bulk upstream. In this article, a life cycle assessment (LCA) model is developed to account cradle-to-gate footprint batteries across 26 Chinese provinces, 20 North American locations 19 countries Europe Asia.

The Doyle-Fuller-Newman framework is the most popular physics-based continuum-level description of chemical and dynamical internal processes within operating lithium-ion-battery cells. With sufficient flexibility to model a wide range battery designs chemistries, provides an effective balance between detail, needed capture key microscopic mechanisms, simplicity, solve governing equations at relatively modest computational expense. Nevertheless, implementation requires values numerous...
While electric vehicles are seen as an important tool in the decarbonisation of transport, pack and module architectures make disassembly recycling slow complex. Removal physical fastenings such clips, screws, welds adhesives rate limiting factor to cell disassembly. This study investigates types polymeric which used various battery components shows how careful choice can speed up circumvent need for shredding increase purity value recycled material.
Net zero targets have resulted in a drive to decarbonise the transport sector worldwide through electrification. This has, turn, led an exponentially growing battery market and, conversely, increasing attention on how we can reduce environmental impact of batteries and promote more efficient circular economy achieve real net zero. As these reach end their first life, challenges arise as collect process them, order maximise economical use before finally being recycled. Despite body work...
Abstract With the number of electric vehicles (EVs) projected to increase 25‐fold by 2030, effective recycling processes need be developed conserve critical raw materials (in particular, cobalt and lithium) used make lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Industrial LIBs is underdeveloped due two main reasons: i) complex particularly variable cathodic chemistries; ii) physically different shapes sizes battery packs which are not designed for easy disassembly. Present use pyrometallurgical and/or...
Abstract Computational modelling is a vital tool in the research of batteries and their component materials. Atomistic models are key to building truly physics-based form foundation multiscale chain, leading more robust predictive models. These can be applied fundamental questions with high accuracy. For example, they used predict new behaviour not currently accessible by experiment, for reasons cost, safety, or throughput. useful quantifying evaluating trends experimental data, explaining...
First-generation cathodes for commercial lithium-ion batteries are based on layered transition-metal oxides. Research ternary compounds, such as LiCoO2, evolved into mixed-metal systems, notably Li(Ni,Mn,Co)O2 (NMCs), which allows significant tuning of the physical properties. Despite their widespread application in devices, fundamental understanding NMCs is incomplete. Here, we review latest insights from multiscale modeling, bridging between redox phenomena that occur at an atomistic level...
