6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
Shifting the open-loop manufacturing manner into a closed-loop fashion is the ultimate solution, leading to a need for battery recycling. However, in the pursuit of sustainably and effectively recycling spent LIBs, various battery components and associated rich chemistries undoubtedly pose serious challenges.
Most commonly used batteries are made primarily of inorganic metals such as copper, zinc, lithium, tin, nickel, and cadmium [195, 196]. However, the majorities of these metals are not only expensive but also poisonous, and nonbiodegradable, and thus have an adverse effect on the environment.
Here, we discuss the importance of recovering critical materials, and how battery designs can be improved from the cell to module level in order to facilitate recyclability. The economic and environmental implications of various recycling approaches are analyzed, along with policy suggestions to develop a dedicated battery recycling infrastructure.
