The battery sorting, dismantling and separation depend on the material design, internal battery structure and constituent composition. The overall process is tedious. In that note, to make recycling easier, batteries should be designed with recyclability in mind .
Analysis: used EV batteries still have a considerable amount of capacity left and can be repurposed for energy storage applications By Barry Hayes and İbrahim Şengör, UCC Electric vehicles are widely seen as the key to decarbonising road transport. Despite recent supply chain issues, global electric sales continue to break records every year.
Production in Europe and the United States reached 110 GWh and 70 GWh of EV batteries in 2023, and 2.5 million and 1.2 million EVs, respectively. In Europe, the largest battery producers are Poland, which accounted for about 60% of all EV batteries produced in the region in 2023, and Hungary (almost 30%).
While traditional lead-acid batteries are widely recycled, the same can't be said for the lithium-ion versions used in electric cars. EV batteries are larger and heavier than those in regular cars and are made up of several hundred individual lithium-ion cells, all of which need dismantling.
Typical examples include lithium–copper oxide (Li-CuO), lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-SO 2), lithium–manganese oxide (Li-MnO 2) and lithium poly-carbon mono-fluoride (Li-CF x) batteries. 63 - 65 And since their inception these primary batteries have occupied the major part of the commercial battery market.
In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these shares were around 15%, 10% and 2%, respectively.
