Abstract

Driven by the rapid uptake of battery electric vehicles, Li-ion power batteries are increasingly reused in stationary energy storage systems, and eventually recycled to recover all the valued components. Offering an updated global perspective, this study provides a circular economy insight on lithium-ion battery reuse and recycling.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Seven components (cobalt, lithium, copper, graphite, nickel, aluminum, and manganese) have been reported to comprise >90% of the economic value of a spent lithium-ion battery: Co 39%, Li 16% as LCE equivalent, Cu 12%, graphite 10%, Ni 9%, Al 5%, and Mn 2%.

    “Furthermore, seven of the components (cobalt, lithium, copper, graphite, nickel, aluminum, and manganese) have been reported to comprise >90% of the economic value of a spent lithium-ion battery: Co (39%) and Li (16%, as LCE equivalent) followed by Cu (12%), graphite (10%), Ni (9%), Al (5%), and Mn(2%) [56].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
