The ReCell Center: Making Lithium ion Battery Recycling Profitable

Presented on March 25, 2021, by Jeff Spangenberger - Materials Recycling R&D Program Lead in the Applied Materials Division at Argonne National Laboratory
End-of-life lithium-ion batteries in electric and hybrid-electric vehicles are just now starting to reach their end of life. The recycling infrastructure that these batteries are expected to go through will likely result as a cost to the end user. ReCell is working to develop, scale-up, and demonstrate, battery recycling processes that reduce cost and increase revenue to improve the economics of responsible end-of-life lithium-ion battery management even as the use of cobalt is reduced in batteries. Four focus areas are targeted: direct cathode recycling, recovery of other materials, design for recycle, and modeling and analysis. This presentation will provide a summary of ReCell’s work to create a profitable battery recycling system.

Wow beautiful thanks

[@its_amir]

Great Presentation

[@juandomaniczky8787]

circular economy is the basis to promote the recycling of lithium batteries, otherwise the extraction of virgin material is cheaper than the logistics and transformation of recycling.

[@uncensored24-7]

instead of hydro/pyrometallurgical process to recycle , it is beneficial to go for direct recycling. Its much more profitable

The speaker is not that exciting. I appreciate that.
