Approach of “Electrodes to Electrodes”: Challenges for Recycling Advanced Lithium-Ion Batteries for e-Mobility

Lithium ion sector is the most dynamic among the battery segment. several omposition of li-ion batteries are now on the market while basic composition is moving from lithium cobalt oxides / carbon portable segment to several kinds of cathodes materials, electrolytes and anodes materials. This means that we are in the need of new flexible processes while maintaining high recycling rate linked mainly to:

1-    Process in safe way high capacity batteries

2-    Achieve resource conservation in general and lithium in particular

3-    Provide process with low environment impact mainly on fluoride/solvent emissions while having improved carbon print avoiding any CO2 production.

 A new process will be presented . Work are coming our from several R&D programs such as:

1-National French Networks Project ELLISUP and PROCYON

2- 7^th FP European Cluster AMELIE, SOMABAT, MARS-EV

New process obtained during those projects will be presented.

Approach of “electrodes to electrodes” will be considered.
