Recycling and Reuse of Waste Batteries from Electric Vehicles: A review

As sales of electric vehicles rapidly increase, the amount of waste batteries is also rapidly increasing. Accordingly, social interest in the recycling and reuse of waste batteries is rapidly increasing. Waste battery recycling refers to the process of reprocessing waste batteries and extracting val...

description As sales of electric vehicles rapidly increase, the amount of waste batteries is also rapidly increasing. Accordingly, social interest in the recycling and reuse of waste batteries is rapidly increasing. Waste battery recycling refers to the process of reprocessing waste batteries and extracting valuable water for reuse. Reuse of waste batteries refers to the process of using them again for the same purpose after undergoing a slight conversion process. Currently, related technology development is required, and related policies are insufficient. Looking at the global trend, a waste battery collection system is being established through the labeling system and producer responsibility recycling system, battery performance and safety evaluation standards are being established, and efficient and safe transportation systems are being established. Since it is not clear who is responsible for each stage of the problem in the disposal of waste batteries, a history management system is needed. It is important to efficiently extract and recycle waste battery resources, but it is also necessary to develop battery technology free from resource scarcity. In this review, recycling and reuse-related technologies of waste batteries, battery-related policies, and rare metal replacement technologies were explored, and directions for future waste battery policies were presented.
