Recycling technology for battery scraps has made significant progress. Unlike spent batteries, battery scraps can be directly recycled as the electrode materials in them retain their original qualities. We have also discussed the challenges and opportunities associated with spent batteries and battery scraps.
The direct recycling approach is more appropriate for battery scrap recycling, eliminating the need for complex acid leaching and purification steps that are typically associated with the traditional hydrometallurgy process . However, current direct recycling methods, while promising, still present many challenges that need to be addressed.
The primary challenges for battery scraps relate to the kinds of recycling technologies. Present recycling methods still pose significant limitations to the efficient recycling process. Despite advancements in direct recycling methods, these methods are often limited to lab scales.
The targeted resources for battery recycling can be classified into two primary categories: spent batteries and battery manufacturing scraps. As summarized in Table 1, spent batteries, which refer to the used, end-of-life batteries that have completed their operational lifespan, need to be carefully collected and processed for recycling.
Li-Cycle, a Canadian LIB recycling company, estimates that the share of manufacturing scrap in their waste sources will be 68 % in 2025 . According to the report from CES [7,8], the amount of battery manufacturing scraps will keep increasing until 2030 as battery production continues to grow.
