A comprehensive review on the pretreatment process in lithium-ion battery recycling
Abstract
Abstract The worldwide demand for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) has risen sharply, and the number of spent LIBs is increasing proportionally. The current situation makes the recycling of spent LIBs indispensable for the conservation of the environment and the raw materials used in the LIBs. The pretreatment process in LIB recycling can enhance the recovery efficiency of the valuable elements in the LIBs and reduce the energy consumption in the subsequent processes. The pretreatment process has been adopted from the early stage of LIB recycling research, a large number of articles that focus on the pretreatment methods of spent LIBs have emerged over the last few years. Therefore, it would be appropriate to categorize various emerging methods in the pretreatment process and summarize the relevant literature in the current stage. This review focuses exclusively on the pretreatment process itself by comprehensively analyzing the relevant literature, which is unlike most review papers that covered the pretreatment process as a part of the general LIB recycling technology. We establish the scope and the sequence of the pretreatment processes, which are classified into discharge, dismantling, comminution, classification, separation, dissolution, and thermal treatment. The technology development and the current status of each category are discussed in depth.

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.
