Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
Challenges and prospects Recycling spent LIBs presents several challenges, encompassing safety concerns, collection and sorting complexities, technical limitations, and economic viability. The presence of hazardous chemicals and materials in many batteries necessitates caution to safeguard workers and the environment during the recycling process.
Therefore, innovation is needed to adapt this process to cobalt-free or low-cobalt LIBs chemistries and to achieve efficient recovery of lithium and other battery components, such as developing new roasting conditions that make it easier to separate and purify valuable metals or other battery components.
Despite some methods achieving recovery rates of up to ninety-nine percent, the global recovery rate of lithium from lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is currently below 1%. This is due to the high energy consumption for lithium extraction and the high operation cost associated with the processes .
It is now universally accepted that breakthroughs in lithium battery technology require innovative chemistries for both the electrode and the electrolyte components. The goal is to identify materials having performances higher than those offered by the anode and the cathode used in the common versions.
In fact, compared to other emerging battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries have the great advantage of being commercialized already, allowing for at least a rough estimation of what might be possible at the cell level when reporting the performance of new cell components in lab-scale devices.
