Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have improved on approaches that dissolve the battery in a liquid solution in order to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals used in the process.
Conclusions DESs hold significant promise as green solvents for battery recycling due to their eco-friendliness, biodegradability, and ability to dissolve metal salts and oxides. They have demonstrated high efficiency in metal leaching, binder dissolution, and recovery of valuable metals and graphite.
Leaching agents such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, citric, oxalic, ascorbic, or malic acids are commonly used to dissolve metals from battery components . The choice of leaching agent depends on the specific metals targeted for recovery and the composition of the battery materials.
The ambitious plan of the EU aims to stimulate innovations in battery recycling and achieve a recycling rate of 70 % for LIBs by 2030 . Let's briefly explore the most common recycling methods for LIBs and their benefits and drawbacks. The first method is mechanical recycling, often considered as a pre-processing step [, , , ].
Data was extracted using the ScienceDirect platform. In recent years, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a promising pathway for battery recycling, offering advantages in selectivity, efficiency, and environmental sustainability [4, 5].
Call2Recycle, a consumer battery stewardship and collection program headquartered in Atlanta, says more than 3 million pounds of li-ion batteries were collected last year—the highest number of li-on batteries collected in Call2Recycle’s history.
