Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
By 2040, according to P w C, a professional-services firm, up to 60% of the materials used to make batteries in Europe could come from recycling old ones, helped along by innovations in recovery processes. Other analysts take a similar view.
Recent breakthroughs in recycling, together with a spate of technological improvements, mean that within a decade or so most of the global demand for raw materials to build new batteries could be met by recycling old ones. Lithium, manganese and cobalt are widely used to make electrodes called cathodes, the most expensive part of a Li-ion battery.
The goal is to recycle as near to 100% of the material in lithium-ion electric car batteries. Worksheet, for age range 14–16 This activity has two parts. The first looks at some of the chemistry of batteries. The second part links to the article. It considers the problems with mining lithium and with recycling batteries.
At present battery recycling is mostly confined to recovering raw materials from the scrap produced by gigafactories. A much richer vein will soon present itself, however, as the first wave of EV s reach the end of their lives.
