Circular economy strategies for electric vehicle batteries reduce reliance on raw materials

Joris Baars et al.

Summary: New battery chemistry can reduce reliance on cobalt for electric vehicles, but circular economy strategies are needed to prevent burden shifting to other resources. The adoption of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles will increase demand for natural resources, leading to new challenges and risks in the supply chain. To strengthen resilience and sustainability, circular economy strategies are essential to reduce primary resource requirements.

Thermally modulated lithium iron phosphate batteries for mass-market electric vehicles

Xiao-Guang Yang et al.

Summary: The development of thermally modulated LFP battery can provide adequate cruise range and extend the range through short recharges, eliminating range anxiety for electric vehicles. Designed to operate at a working temperature of around 60 degrees Celsius in any ambient condition, it promises to be an ideal powertrain for mass-market EVs. Furthermore, utilizing low surface area graphite presents an opportunity to prolong the lifespan of EVs to over two million miles.

To shred or not to shred: A comparative techno-economic assessment of lithium ion battery hydrometallurgical recycling retaining value and improving circularity in LIB supply chains

Dana Thompson et al.

Summary: Current techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries often involve shredding as a preliminary step, resulting in lower purity and decreased economics. However, disassembly followed by delamination can retain product value and simplify downstream chemistries, with potential cost savings of up to 80%. This highlights the importance of design for disassembly in improving the circularity of LIB supply chains and retaining greater value within the system.

Design and Optimization of the Direct Recycling of Spent Li-Ion Battery Cathode Materials

Panpan Xu et al.

Summary: Direct regeneration of spent Li-ion batteries through hydrothermal relithiation of cathode materials is a promising recycling technology for the future. By optimizing process parameters, it is possible to minimize energy and raw material costs. The use of a cost-effective mixture of LiOH and KOH or recycling concentrated LiOH can significantly reduce raw material costs, leading to decreased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and potentially increased revenue when compared to other recycling methods.
