Bridgetown s new energy storage battery recycling

Can energy storage batteries be recycled?

In addition, we evaluate the highly promising new generation of future energy storage batteries from multiple dimensions and propose possible recycling technologies based on the current state of lithium-ion battery recycling and recycling theory.

Can lithium-ion batteries be recycled?

A Critical Review of Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Processes from a Circular Economy Perspective. Batteries 2019, 5 (4), 68, DOI: 10.3390/batteries5040068 Lv, W.; Wang, Z.; Cao, H.; Sun, Y.; Zhang, Y.; Sun, Z. A Critical Review and Analysis on the Recycling of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Can recycling reduce the effects and costs of battery recycling?

To understand how recycling may be able to decrease the effects and costs of battery recycling, the materials used in batteries and their costs should be defined, and the cost of new materials and recycled materials compared. Mining and refining of virgin materials and recycling used materials for batteries exact environmental costs.

Why are lithium secondary batteries becoming a new energy storage technology?

Research on new energy storage technologies has been sparked by the energy crisis, greenhouse effect, and air pollution, leading to the continuous development and commercialization of electrochemical energy storage batteries. Accordingly, as lithium secondary batteries gradually enter their retirement period

How can NREL improve direct recycling of lithium-ion batteries?

As part of the ReCell Center, NREL is working with Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to improve direct recycling of lithium-ion batteries, which uses less energy and captures more of the critical materials.

Where are the top companies pursuing a patent on Li-ion battery recycling?

A further analysis of patent assignees revealed the top organizations by volume of patent applications on LIB recycling (Table S2) are primarily located in China, Japan, and France. Figure 1. Journal articles and patent publications on Li-ion battery recycling (data for 2021 is partial).
