Abstract

Recycling processes of lithium-ion batteries used in electric and hybrid vehicles are widely studied today. To perform such recycling routes, it is necessary to know the composition of these batteries and their components. In this work, three pouch and three cylindrical LIBs were discharged, dismantled, and characterized, having their compositions known and quantified. The dismantling was performed using scissors, pliers, and a precision cutter equipment. The organic liquid electrolyte was quantified via mass loss after it evaporated at 60 °C for 24 h. The separators were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the cathode and anode active materials were analyzed using a scanning electronic microscope coupled to an energy-dispersive spectroscope (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XDR), and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). All LIBs were identified by type (NCA, NMC 442, NMC 811, LCO, and two LFP batteries), and a preliminary economic evaluation was conducted to understand their potential economic value (in USD/t). Both results (characterization and preliminary economic evaluation) were considered to discuss the perspective of recycling towards a circular economy for end-of-life LIBs.

从循环经济角度分析锂离子电池的特性

如今，电动汽车和混合动力汽车所用锂离子电池的回收工艺已被广泛研究。要执行此类回收路线，就必须了解这些电池及其组件的成分。在这项工作中，对三块袋装和三块圆柱形锂离子电池进行了放电、拆解和表征，并对其成分进行了了解和量化。拆解过程中使用了剪刀、钳子和精密切割设备。使用傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）分析了分离器，并使用扫描电子显微镜耦合能量色散光谱仪（SEM-EDS）、X 射线衍射（XDR）和能量色散 X 射线荧光光谱仪（EDXRF）分析了阴极和阳极活性材料。所有锂电池均按类型（NCA、NMC 442、NMC 811、LCO 和两个 LFP 电池）进行了鉴定，并进行了初步经济评估，以了解其潜在经济价值（以美元/吨计）。考虑到这两项结果（特征描述和初步经济评价），我们从循环经济的角度讨论了报废锂电池的回收问题。
