“…The implementation of automated dismantling by industrial robots is subject of controversial discussions about the manifold battery designs and the rapid technical development of batteries [9,46,54,56,[64][65][66]. Currently, battery systems are manually dismantled to different dismantling levels within the framework of research projects and some industrial applications [39,54,66,67]. Occupational safety requires that the DC voltage is reduced at least below 60 V [54,68].…”

The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is becoming increasingly important with regard to environmental, economic, geostrategic, and health aspects due to the increasing amount of LIB produced, introduced into the market, and being spent in the following years. The recycling itself becomes a challenge to face on one hand the special aspects of LIB-technology and on the other hand to reply to the idea of circular economy. In this paper, we analyze the different recycling concepts for spent LIBs and categorize them according to state-of-the-art schemes of waste treatment technology. Therefore, we structure the different processes into process stages and unit processes. Several recycling technologies are treating spent lithium-ion batteries worldwide focusing on one or several process stages or unit processes.

The use of electricity for transportation needs offers the chance to replace fossil fuels with greener energy sources. Potentially, coupling sustainable transports with Renewable Energies (RE) could reduce significantly both Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the dependency on oil imports. However, the expected growth rate of Electric Vehicles (EVs) could become also a potential risk for the environment if recycling processes will continue to function in the current way. To this aim, the paper reviews the international literature on obsolete EV management practices, by considering scientific works published from 2000 up to 2019. Results show that the experts have paid great attention to this topic, given both the critical and valuable materials embedded in EVs and their main components (especially traction batteries), by offering interesting potential profits, and identifying the most promising End-of-Life (EoL) strategy for recycling both in technological and environmental terms. However, the economics of EV recycling systems have not yet been well quantified. The intent of this work is to enhance the current literature gaps and to propose future research streams.

In te rnation a l J o u rn al of W a s te R es ourc e s AbstractIt is recommended that decommissioned power batteries be categorized as scrap batteries for recycling or batteries with remaining capacity for use in cascade utilization. Leadership from the public sector combined with the power of social participation should see China taking the opportunity to develop the related extensibility research and work on urban minerals, encouraging upstream and downstream enterprises as well as terminal users to implement decommissioned power battery utilization.
