It’s clear that a battery revolution is coming, but what are we doing to protect our environment? Here’s a look at the whole picture of lithium ion battery recycling.
G Embry I wouldn't say all, but this video is essentially a series to his electric centric videos, again I don't think you need to watch all. Tbh it's a bit shilling towards Tesla.
Came here from the cell phone video. Could you please do another video on this? And consumer e waste in general? Things must have changed in the last 4 years, but I am worried there is just that much more being thrown away. One factor you could look into is the losing of all of this e waste along with less offices being occupied and so many more people working from home. A close friend is currently clearing an 11 story building of offices and the waste is beyond comprehension. Everything from brand new in the box electronics to several year old desks and chairs are being thrown away in mass. I have seen that on small scale for businesses, but never that scale.
As a geologist this video has been quite informative and calming to watch. I had fears regarding recycling and disposal of batteries in the new electric boom but now i know there are ways to prevent most of it. Still education for consumers is key!!!
i think the thing we can all agree on. is that companies needs to recycle their own junk/products their customer consume that they sell to the customer/putting out to the environment
And how they gonna do that? You gonna introduce yet another tax which will burden smaller companies even more? It a lot easier to deal with segregated materials then deal it on individual manufacture level.
Who said anything about taxing the consumers?How about you legislate and push force companies to design their products to be recyclable? You can't just have industrial productions like this forever.
A progressive tax based on volume of batteries sold which feeds into recycling company tax breaks could work, it's kinda roundabout but still workable. Smaller companies wouldn't feel it but very large companies could take the hit and factor it into pricing
I still remember the good ol' days, sticking a fresh new pair of Double-A batteries into my Gameboy colour (turquoise, obviously) and knowing I could beast it at Pokemon (blue, of course) for houuuurs! Ah batteries, ye little cheeky powerhouses you! Ps Blue > Red...change my mind 😅
Excellent coverage on an important topic. I watched your previous video on the next step in battery evolution and was pleasantly impressed and encouraged. You are even handed and do thorough research and you neither praised nor trashed tesla; you just presented your findings and raised your concerns, then enumerated the likely positive, useful outcomes for the next phases of battery recycling and environmentally friendly possibilities. Thank you!
It makes me uncomfortable to watch that Skype video at such a low fps after Dagogo's voice along with the smooth music transition. Awesome video though, the guy has insights and expectations. He knows what's up.
@@Poorgeniu5 If plugged into Ethernet (if doing the call via skype or another pc/mac software) then only 2mb connection is needed for a smooth video call. If both guys have ethernet cables plugged in it should be a non issue (I think).
Evariste Galois just 90 Note 7s were reported as catching fire out of 2million shipped. 90 in 2M is statistical noise. Plenty of iphones catch fire too.
Actually i believe that those standardized form-factor batteries are easy to dismantle and separate. Reversed process or bullet manufacturing. A) Cut both heads (sizes are standardized) B) push piston and wet + roll of lithium film will be pushed out. C: Put 2 needles and roll out the film D: then pass with precise gravity powered calibrated load one side of film over grater to remove powder E: turn arround film and do it again (probably assisting with ultrasonic). E: Liquid (electrolyte) must be collected and chemically separated in high purity components F: wet powder is to dry off and recycle - make again fine grain powder with proper size nanostructure for next batteries. I see more problems with already burnt batteries, or pouch batteries that got moisture inside (puffed).

Even today recycling is not done enough. Battery recycling might go the way of solar panel recycling. They are either in land fills or setting in a warehouse in large piles. New energy is on peoples minds and still no one recycles them. Sad. Thanks for reading
In The Netherlands it is also normal to not throw batteries/electronic devices in the trash. All grocery stores have boxes where you can leave your old batteries in, and old electronics can be returned to companies that sell electronics. I assumed this was similar for the rest of the world, but I am wrong apparently.
It would seem the simplest solution to so many problems is one Law. Anything Produced has to be made safe or recycled before it is allowed into the Public or Private Market
And capacitors charge insanely fast. So if they can be made with similar energy densities to current batteries, it is a massive win as they have FAR more duty cycles and are infinitely more recyclable. If the elusive graphene ultracapacitor can be achieved in scale, then everything changes. To the extent of almost fusion power level changes.
@@JasonPrice1 There are only 2 problem with supercaps, even if energy density is solved: 1. Their self-discharge rates are quite high. 2. Their voltage goes down significantly as you discharge, unlike rechargeable battery chemistries which go down slowly in voltage.
Supercapacitors are not a replacement for batteries. They fill a different niche. Batteries are for when you want kilowatt-hours. Supercapacitors are for when you want megawatt-seconds. If you want backup power to run a building for a day when the power goes out, you want a heap of batteries. If you want to cushion your grid connection against startup power surges when you restart your factory, you want a heap of supercapacitors.
Dear dagogo. Huge fan, much support. A topic appealing to me at the moment is “modern day propaganda”👍 A bit broad and intense but how is the average cyber consumer supposed to realize it?
Biotech student chiming in. We are discovering/creating more and more powerfull methods for genetic modification and we will see much more applied biology in the years to come. We already use many biological solutions to many problems. I would be so bold to say that it is maybe our most advanced technology. Different micro organisms and their macromolecules are microscopic machines that can perform different Work and solve different problems. They are wonderful :)
@@varshard0 strains used for production or whatever are specialised for that, and said strains would have no chance of competing outside of the comfy environment that is optimized for them. Our crude modifications would have to compete with organism perfectly tuned to nature through billions of years of evolution. In Nature there is not any, and i mean any room for waste of energy. There Will basicly be a selection pressure against having genes that are not useful in Nature or is wasteful of energy/ressources. Besides that, if we need to - we can, and in some cases already do make them die automatically outside the intended environment :)
Excellent. Can’t wait to see the primer video to this one. But for now, my comment for this video and this issue is just one word: “Opportunity.” Fully recognizing the very real and serious environmental issues, one should be simply exhilarated by the endless scientific and entrepreneurial opportunities here; opportunities to help and profit. Astounding. Simply astounding. We are living through a time that will later be recognized as one of the greatest moments in the history of our species.
During the consumption of Goal, useful products are received such as heat and Co2 which can be used for further growing of energy and food crops. Coal is a finite resource but there are so many steps in it's consumption we should be using, first we have to de-vilify Co2 and start using it and producing it with purpose.
Informative video, I appreciate the efforts by ColdFusion for spreading awareness regarding environment...... and also liked the logo of Faraday institution :)
Hey, can you do a video about metal recycling? Like can galvanised steel be fully recycled? Like can they actually remove the zinc from the steel to fully recycle it?
It's a stretch to assume that time isn't a big battery-degrading factor along with usage. For example here in Finland temperature cycles through +30 to -30 degrees along the year and +5 to -20 many times during winter. If you drive a Model S for 500 000 km in a couple of years, time isn't counted in as a factor.
Tesla just bought battery and supercapacitor producer Maxell for ~200 million dollars. You might want to dig into that story, as they are probably already developing the future battery technology for Tesla ;)
Yes, especially this. Supercaps have very low energy density, but extremely high power density. Even if their energy density doesn't improve much in the mid-term, their characteristics could be used to stabilize grids all around the world, especially with the rise of electric cars.
Environmental factors are real, so are the costs of wars waged on other countries that have what we intend to steal, like oil, lithium, Cobalt and more. The real costs of batteries needs to be accounted in terms of human blood as well as environmental concerns.
I have ordered your book in October. But still didn't get any notification that it's shipped :( I really hope this will be soon, really waiting to read it!
I am a uni undergrad doing a project on this , can you maybe tell me how you got your hands on that nice animation for the hydrometallurgical process) ?
I'm a big fan of your work and the way you edit your videos, but I must say I really don't like the 80s video distortion effect in this and the last video. Just a small critique point on a wonderful series. Keep up the awesome work!
Another great video! And yes, here in Belgium we can also bring back batteries to shops and other public places, already many years. Can't imagine just throwing them in the garbage bin...
Love your videos hence a constructive comment. Please use audio with a photo rather then bad video for interview. It's distracting to see someone getting stuck in the video
So with recycling? How do you use a chemical to breakdown the products underneath a pressure of dirt/sand and or other pressure elements to create other molecules and or the original molecules that made all those items? I.e. Oil & water separate but appearance can look as if it’s combined in salad dressings. Or even human waste and the human all together.
Hey man! I still love the content but really miss the nice imagery from before... On the other hand it's nice to see how one of my all time favourite yt channels has grown 😃
There is a company that has this technology already patented. It's called the RecycLiCo patented process. Exciting time to be in one of those industries...
In France, we have a "polluter-payer" law, which basically means that if a store sells light bulbs, batteries, electronics, appliances, they have to implement a solution to recycle them as well. That means that any customer or not can just drop its light bulbs at the store that will take care of it afterwards. I guess we could extend this to a lot more products like food that is not good to eat so they can compost it or sell it to farmers for animals
At 08:30 he talks about taking fluids out of a car as if that has anything to do with recycling. There is no mention that these fluids are not recycled. In fact, they are a cost. They are never paid back.
The natural lithium salt water evaporation process you speak of is the least damaging environmental process to get the needed lithium but its the slow way and as demand goes up for lithium with 8000+ big cells in each car they will go to other means of extraction using power plants to accelerate the process.
Big issue with current age of technology is battery. It’s primitive, short life span and worst of all it’s harmful waste. Thank you CF for being this up it’s about time we all take responsibility.
What happens to some of these recycled batteries after second life? What happens to the waste materials that can't or aren't recycled? Are there any good solutions, or alternatives to landfills with potentially toxic chemicals?
Well if it's not worth the extra effort that is a very high possibility, but then lead-acid recycling also had to be government mandated before it really took root.
What are solid state batteries? #solidstatebattery what are the advantages of it? Will these solid state batteries overthrow lithium ion batteries? At what state is its development right now?
Solid state cells use a solid electrolyte instead of a gel. This gives it mostly lower internal resistance along with much higher cycle life. Their energy density/volume isn't actually better than current lithium-ion cells, but their power and energy density/weight is currently higher on a lab setting.
@ColdFusion, since your channel is more about technology combined with music, I would suggest a video on Dolby. Would be excited to see this one on your channel 😊
Very informative video thank you, however just wondering about the impact of the other mined materials that involve, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, copper and aluminum, to produce the battery?
Laws must be created so that it is ILLEGAL TO SELL ELECTRICAL DEVICES WITHOUT REPLACABLE/EASILY REMOVABLE BATTERIES. The customer should not have to use a heat gun to remove the battery either to replace it or dispose of any device. The current trend for sealed in batteries is taking PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE dangerously too far.
How are we doing in terms of the geological scarcity of these less prevalent specialty metals like lithium, cobalt, etc? Do we run the risk of running out simply due to sheer demand for batteries and other high tech electronics that need these materials?
Seems to make gas car recycling very simple. So if all things equal, Gas vs ev from production to recycling, I feel gas is still best, plus we have more crude oil than fresh water here on earth....
I need to start up a battery recycling center. As I write this there are 1.5 million Kilometer batteries for cars. so the life has been extended to about 30 years and they are constantly trying to extend even that. That being said there is still a lot of money in recycling the batteries and that demand will only grow.
Ultra sonic as the term suggests is high frequency sound above human hearing range, eg above 20khz and infra sonic is soind frequently below human hearimg range, eg below 20hz.
It’s clear that a battery revolution is coming, but what are we doing to protect our environment? Here’s a look at the whole picture of lithium ion battery recycling.

What are solid state batteries? #solidstatebattery what are the advantages of it? Will these solid state batteries overthrow lithium ion batteries? At what state is its development right now?
Maybe dagogo can and will do a video about it too? Idk he did one some time ago on the one of Samsung
I hate shutting down a chat but i reckon if you typed those words into google you'd get an answer
Odin Thorsdad good reply, +10 respect
Solid state cells use a solid electrolyte instead of a gel.
This gives it mostly lower internal resistance along with much higher cycle life.
Their energy density/volume isn't actually better than current lithium-ion cells, but their power and energy density/weight is currently higher on a lab setting.
@ColdFusion, since your channel is more about technology combined with music, I would suggest a video on Dolby. Would be excited to see this one on your channel 😊
Gotta love good content. The future looks good...
Very informative video thank you, however just wondering about the impact of the other mined materials that involve, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, copper and aluminum, to produce the battery?
Awesome video! This answers all my questions
Laws must be created so that it is ILLEGAL TO SELL ELECTRICAL DEVICES WITHOUT REPLACABLE/EASILY REMOVABLE BATTERIES.
The customer should not have to use a heat gun to remove the battery either to replace it or dispose of any device. The current trend for sealed in batteries is taking PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE dangerously too far.
How are we doing in terms of the geological scarcity of these less prevalent specialty metals like lithium, cobalt, etc? Do we run the risk of running out simply due to sheer demand for batteries and other high tech electronics that need these materials?
Great video, as always) thanks for bringing such issues to our attention!
4:55 Ultrasonic is low frequency?
Seems to make gas car recycling very simple.
So if all things equal,
Gas vs ev from production to recycling,
I feel gas is still best, plus we have more crude oil than fresh water here on earth....
ultrasonic washing uses high frequency waves.Higher relative to the audible range instead of the low "soundwaves" mentioned.
Dagogo, you should make videos about big brands and what/how they recycle. Apple or Samsung for example. Should be an interesting watch
I need to start up a battery recycling center. As I write this there are 1.5 million Kilometer batteries for cars. so the life has been extended to about 30 years and they are constantly trying to extend even that. That being said there is still a lot of money in recycling the batteries and that demand will only grow.
Ultra sonic as the term suggests is high frequency sound above human hearing range, eg above 20khz and infra sonic is soind frequently below human hearimg range, eg below 20hz.
Thank you, please keep us updated on this.
