Two major technical routes for lithium batteries

How do pyrometallurgical processes recycle spent lithium ion batteries?

The pyrometallurgical routes to recycle spent LIBs consist of two major approaches: (1) regeneration of electrode materials by lithiation or crystal repairs through a heat-treatment process, and (2) convert spent batteries into Fe-, Co-, Ni-, and Mn-based liquid alloys at a temperature higher than 1000 °C .

What are the production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing?

Production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing summarizing electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and cell finishing (formation) based on prismatic cell format. Electrode manufacturing starts with the reception of the materials in a dry room (environment with controlled humidity, temperature, and pressure).

Are lithium-ion batteries the future of battery technology?

Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.

How are lithium ion batteries processed?

Conventional processing of a lithium-ion battery cell consists of three steps: (1) electrode manufacturing, (2) cell assembly, and (3) cell finishing (formation) [8, 10]. Although there are different cell formats, such as prismatic, cylindrical and pouch cells, manufacturing of these cells is similar but differs in the cell assembly step.

Can battery modules be fed directly into pyrometallurgical routes?

Currently, battery modules are often directly fed into the pyrometallurgical routes. However, a mechanical conditioning might be beneficial to reduce the Al and Fe content of the feed material and to simplify the feeding process by a size reduction of the modules.

How is the quality of the production of a lithium-ion battery cell ensured?

The products produced during this time are sorted according to the severity of the error. In summary, the quality of the production of a lithium-ion battery cell is ensured by monitoring numerous parameters along the process chain.
