Abstract:
The unprecedented modern transportation electrification will consume a tremendous amount of lithium ion batteries (LIBs).Producing an electric vehicle contributesglobal warming gases, on average, consumes double the amount of energy than producing a combustion engine car, mainly due to the LIBs. This demands environmentally benign and economically viable recycling of spent LIBs and alternative techniques such as sodium ion batteries (SIBs).
For recycling LIBs, we propose incorporating intelligence-assisted predesign strategy into the battery management system and battery chemistry, including ameliorating traceability of battery structure and operation status, promoting cost-effective material sorting and separation, and the adoption of sustainable battery materials. With this predesign concept, the intelligent “Reuse-Refurbish-Recover” (3R) could be realized in an economically and environmentally sustainable (EES) fashion. The intelligence-assisted predesign strategy will promote multi-disciplinary cooperation in a systematic and synergetic way, and globally facilitate governmental authority to establish and implement a series of standards, regulations, and even laws to address the environmental pollution issues from spent batteries and avoid the ever-increasing consumption of natural resources1.
For SIBs, the recyclability and sustainability of a battery should be considered at the design stage by using naturally abundant resources and recyclable battery technology. Herein, we design a fully recyclable rechargeable SIB with bipolar electrode structure using Na3V2(PO4)3 as an electrode material and aluminum foil as the common current collector2. The successful incorporation of sustainability into battery design suggests that closed-loop recycling and the re-utilization of battery materials can be achieved in next-generation energy storage technologies.
