Abstract:The colossal growth in the use of Li‐ion batteries (LiBs) has raised serious concerns over the supply chain of strategic minerals, e.g., Co, Ni, and Li, that make up the cathode active materials (CAM). Recycling spent LiBs is an important step toward sustainability that can establish a circular economy by effectively tackling large amounts of e‐waste while ensuring an unhindered supply of critical minerals. Among the various methods of LiB recycling available, pyro‐ and hydrometallurgy have been utilized in th… Show more
