Scrap standards for energy storage batteries

What is battery scrap recycling?

Battery scraps possess unique characteristics compared with spent LIBs. The direct recycling approach is more appropriate for battery scrap recycling, eliminating the need for complex acid leaching and purification steps that are typically associated with the traditional hydrometallurgy process .

Is direct recycling a good option for battery scrap recycling?

The direct recycling approach is more appropriate for battery scrap recycling, eliminating the need for complex acid leaching and purification steps that are typically associated with the traditional hydrometallurgy process . However, current direct recycling methods, while promising, still present many challenges that need to be addressed.

What are the primary challenges for battery scraps?

The primary challenges for battery scraps relate to the kinds of recycling technologies. Present recycling methods still pose significant limitations to the efficient recycling process. Despite advancements in direct recycling methods, these methods are often limited to lab scales.

How to reduce the production rate of battery manufacturing scraps?

Advancement in battery manufacturing technologies is crucial for decreasing the production rate of battery manufacturing scraps. Firstly, every step in the battery cell production process should be optimized to minimize the rejection rate.

What is the new data set on battery production scrap?

Today we are publishing our new data set on battery production scrap on CES Online. The set is based on bottom-up estimates of the global battery production by individual manufacturers and is aligned with our forecast of 3,362 GWh of lithium-ion batteries placed on the market in 2030.

How battery manufacturing scraps are produced?

Production of battery manufacturing scraps in a closed loop from production to recycling of LIBs. As the main source of battery scraps, efforts are being made to improve and optimize the manufacturing processes.
