Abstract

Driven by the rapid uptake of battery electric vehicles, Li-ion power batteries are increasingly reused in stationary energy storage systems, and eventually recycled to recover all the valued components. Offering an updated global perspective, this study provides a circular economy insight on lithium-ion battery reuse and recycling.

Keywords: Battery electric vehicle; Battery recycling; Circular economy; Energy; Lithium-ion battery.
