“…They are accumulated as battery mixtures of different battery types or of lithium-ion batteries of different composition [29,36,54]. Due to the large number of battery types, it is not possible yet to recover all the constituents from the mixture using a single recycling process [26,55,56]. Therefore, presorting by battery type is necessary for recycling technologies specializing in lithium-ion batteries to define material flows for further treatment.…”

“…Then, the batteries are separated manually or automatically [29,47,55]. Recycling technologies based on picking are designed for complex battery materials, so high recycling rates can be achieved [34,56]. In addition, it is possible to sort by different cathode active materials (e.g., Figure 2) within a single LIB type.…”

“…The increasing market penetration of electric cars and the resulting increase of spent LIBs in respect to amount, mass, and size makes dismantling reasonable and in some cases urgently necessary. Dismantling is a time-consuming and thus cost-intensive process step due to the complexity of spent batteries [9,56]. Often, technological equipment such as furnaces or crushing devices are limited regarding to the maximum size or mass of the feed in order to achieve process ability, sufficient process stability, and efficiency [59].…”

“…Besides the battery cell, a battery system consists of a high proportion of periphery components like the battery management system (BMS) or cooling parts. Therefore, dismantling of LIBs from system to module, cell, or even electrode level generates products made of metals, plastics, and electronic components that can be fed to established recycling routes increasing the overall recycling efficiency [14,56,60,61]. Furthermore, functional components or reusable assemblies can also be obtained for Second Life applications [9,62].…”

“…Several dismantling concepts are known, such as manual, semi-automatic (hybrid), and fully automatic dismantling [9,56,63]. From the economical and safety perspective, it is difficult to implement only manual dismantling [54].…”

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.

This article provides an outline of the currently existing and possible future recycling pathways for end‐of‐life lithium‐ion batteries and corresponding current industry activities. Beginning with an outlook onto current and possible future demand for lithium batteries and corresponding resource limitations, it addresses the current state of the art in lithium‐ion battery recycling and its role for a future circular battery economy. Apart from a detailed description of the different available recycling processes and their technological assessment, it also provides details about potential environmental benefits and limitations. Technological challenges and potentials are discussed together with other aspects related to environment, economy, legislation and future developments, providing thus a comprehensive summary of all relevant aspects in the field.
