The most critical battery raw materials currently include lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and graphite. Demand for these raw materials is expected to increase significantly in the coming years, with the World Bank forecasting that demand for lithium in 2050 will be up to five times the level it was in 2018.
At least 22.2 t of primary high-grade ore is required to generate the market value equivalent of 1 t of end-of-life LIBs. Despite the uncertainty facing the EU supply of critical materials and the European Directive specifying battery collection, recycling rates are low.
“Although great progress has been made in the field of integrated photo-responsive batteries, several main challenges such as low overall energy efficiency, poor stability, and compatibility of different modules remain to be resolved.
Batteries are complex systems (comprising polymer, metals and plastics). In today’s society, recycling LIBs represents a technological challenge with the development of efficient, safe, low cost and low environmental impact processes to selectively recover high-purity metal salts of cobalt, lithium, nickel and manganese.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are at the heart of energy storage for stationary applications or electric mobility (electric vehicles). They are now widely used in phones, laptops, etc., and their increasing use in electric vehicles is indisputable.
