Abstract

Lithium-ion battery is the technology of choice in the development of electric vehicles. This technology is now mature although there are still many challenges such as increase of energy density, safety as well as development of lithium-ion batteries recycling processes. This article aims at introducing recent development in hydrometallurgy in order to produce sustainable lithium-ion batteries within the framework of energy transition and electric mobility. The development of recycling processes, including solvent extraction to recover value metals from spent lithium-ion batteries such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium relies both the design of new extracting agents and the optimization of flowsheet operating conditions. For this goal, new modelling tools have to be developed. This paper gives a mini-review on recycling of lithium-ion batteries including recent insights.
