Abstract

Language:

In spite of their success, recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is still in an early stage. This is reflected by the limited amount of publications on the potential environmental benefits of LIB recycling. These focus on evaluating individual recycling processes for a single cell type or a generic mix of waste batteries, and little information is available about the difference between individual LIB chemistries in terms of recyclability and corresponding environmental benefits. Based on a review of existing LCA studies on LIB recycling, we develop parametrized models of different recycling processes for their application to different cell chemistries, complemented by primary data obtained from a recycling company. These are used for assessing recycling pathways of different cell chemistries, including beyond-lithium battery solutions to improve the overall efficiency and sustainability of the recycling process.
