Abstract The market dynamics, and their impact on a future circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), are presented in this roadmap, with safety as an integral consideration throughout the life cycle. 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,...
In recent years, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been increasing rapidly. Conventional recycling strategies (based on pyro- and hydrometallurgy) are damaging environment more sustainable methods need to be developed. Bioleaching is a promising environmentally friendly approach that uses microorganisms solubilize metals. However, bioleaching-based technology not yet applied recover valuable metals from waste LIBs an industrial scale. A series of experiments was performed...
Harnessing bacterial processes for the selective separation of strategic and critical metals contained in spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
The large scale recycling of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is essential to satisfy global demands for the raw materials required implement this technology as part a clean energy strategy. However, despite what rapidly becoming critical need, an efficient and sustainable process LIBs has yet be developed. Biological reactions occur with great selectivity under mild conditions, offering new avenues implementation more environmentally processes. Here, we demonstrate sequential employing two...
