Reuse and recycling of retired electric vehicle (EV) batteries offer a sustainable waste management approach but face decision-making challenges. Based on the process-based life cycle assessment method, we present strategy to optimize pathways battery treatments economically environmentally. The is applied various reuse scenarios with capacity configurations, including energy storage systems, communication base stations, low-speed vehicles. Hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, direct considering residual values are evaluated at end-of-life stage. For optimized pathway, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) improve profits by 58% reduce emissions 18% compared hydrometallurgical without reuse. Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) boost profit 19% 18%. Despite NMC exhibiting higher immediate returns, LFP provide superior long-term benefits through before recycling. Our features an accessible evaluation framework for pinpointing optimal EV batteries. decision Ma et al. economic environmental treating these

Advancing sustainable development through circular economy and skill development in EV lithium-ion battery recycling: a comprehensive review

Frontiers in Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 5

Опубликована: Июнь 10, 2024

The rapid worldwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs), propelled by progress in lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology, brings opportunities and problems sustainable development resource management. This study examines how incorporating circular economy ideas enhancing skills EV LIB recycling can be a strategic approach meeting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. article explores relationship between environmental sustainability, economic growth, social fairness studying recycling, workforce gap, ramifications of approach. Based on existing literature, highlights importance practices improving efficiency, decreasing pollution, supporting various Development Goals (SDGs), especially those concerning responsible consumption production (SDG 12), climate action 13), industry, innovation, infrastructure 9). significance Education (ESD) preparing with essential adapt more economy. It also significant obstacles present methods, such as technological limitations, legislative discrepancies, necessity collaboration standardization. paper suggests practical policy suggestions future research paths improve sustainability recycling. initiatives involve establishing global standards, promoting models through incentives, boosting facilitating international knowledge exchange.
