Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the leading electrochemical energy storage devices, offering high energy density, power, cycle life, and environmental adaptability. With the rapid growth of LIBs use, the demand for key metals has surged, making the recycling of valuable metals from spent LIBs a critical issue. This paper reviews the current recovery methods, focusing on hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and mechanochemical processes, with emphasis on hydrometallurgical techniques such as acid and alkaline leaching, enhanced leaching, chemical precipitation, and solvent extraction. The advantages and limitations of each process are discussed, and insights are provided for developing efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent recycling systems for spent LIBs.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management.
The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
