Abstract

The recycling of spent batteries is essential for conserving rare elements and promoting environmental sustainability. The development of high-efficiency, cost-effective, and environmentally friend recycling methods for spent batteries remains a critical research priority. Herein, this review systematically analyzes the features of current recycling techniques and highlights the future technical directions for closed-loop battery recycling. Furthermore, broader applications of recycled batteries as high-value functional materials are explored and promoted beyond energy storage. Specifically, this review first examines the technical limitations of traditional metallurgical methods and then explores current developments and future directions in direct recycling techniques. In further, this review aims to advocate for exploring diverse high-value applications of recycled materials beyond closed-loop battery recycling, such as, the recovered transition metals and carbon-based materials show promising potential as catalysts, adsorbents, biomedical agents, and chemical reagents across various high value-added fields. Finally, this review analyzes challenges and provides a promising way on future recycling models and applications, aiming to achieve high-efficient, high-value, and environmentally friendly reuse of spent batteries for sustainable development.

电池多元化回收：回收技术与增值功能应用进展

废旧电池的回收利用对于保护稀有元素和促进环境的可持续性至关重要。开发高效、经济、环保的废电池回收方法仍然是一个重要的研究重点。本文系统分析了当前回收技术的特点，并对电池闭环回收的未来技术方向进行了展望。此外，回收电池作为高价值功能材料的更广泛应用正在探索和推广，而不仅仅是能量储存。具体而言，本文首先审查了传统冶金方法的技术局限性，然后探讨了直接回收技术的当前发展和未来方向。此外，本综述旨在倡导探索回收材料在电池闭环回收之外的多种高价值应用，例如，回收的过渡金属和碳基材料在各种高附加值领域中作为催化剂、吸附剂、生物医学试剂和化学试剂具有广阔的潜力。最后，本文分析了面临的挑战，并对未来的回收模式和应用提出了有希望的途径，旨在实现废旧电池的高效、高价值、环保再利用，实现可持续发展。

期刊介绍： Nano Energy is a multidisciplinary, rapid-publication forum of original peer-reviewed contributions on the science and engineering of nanomaterials and nanodevices used in all forms of energy harvesting, conversion, storage, utilization and policy. Through its mixture of articles, reviews, communications, research news, and information on key developments, Nano Energy provides a comprehensive coverage of this exciting and dynamic field which joins nanoscience and nanotechnology with energy science. The journal is relevant to all those who are interested in nanomaterials solutions to the energy problem. Nano Energy publishes original experimental and theoretical research on all aspects of energy-related research which utilizes nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Manuscripts of four types are considered: review articles which inform readers of the latest research and advances in energy science; rapid communications which feature exciting research breakthroughs in the field; full-length articles which report comprehensive research developments; and news and opinions which comment on topical issues or express views on the developments in related fields.
