Topic: Advances in Battery Recycling and Circular Economy
Guest Editor(s)
Special Issue Introduction
Batteries play a pivotal role in our modern world, powering everything from mobile devices to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. As the demand for batteries continues to rise, there is a growing need for effective recycling methods and sustainable practices to mitigate their environmental impact. The Special Issue on "Advances in Battery Recycling and Circular Economy" offers a comprehensive platform for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to explore and discuss recent developments in the field of battery recycling, circular economy principles, and sustainable battery management.
Scope:
This Special Issue covers a broad spectrum of topics related to battery recycling and the circular economy, including, but not limited to:
Innovative Battery Recycling Technologies: Novel approaches and methods for the recycling of various types of batteries, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and more.
Sustainable Materials Recovery: Research and practices that promote the sustainable recovery of valuable materials from end-of-life batteries while minimizing waste and environmental impact.
Life Cycle Assessment: Evaluations of the environmental, economic, and social aspects of batteries and their recycling processes to gain a thorough understanding of their overall sustainability.
Battery Design for Recyclability: Strategies and guidelines for designing batteries with recyclability and sustainability as primary considerations.
Second Life and Direct Cathode Recycling: The second life and direct recycling of retired automotive lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have drawn growing attention, given the anticipated retirement of large volumes of LIBs in the coming decade. This section illustrates how battery chemistry, usage, and recycling can influence the energy and environmental sustainability of LIBs.
