*** Kundenauftrag *** Helmholtz Institute Ulm Oleksandr Dolotko The constantly rising usage of Li-ion batteries in our daily life and the rapid growth of the electric vehicles industry creates a severe waste-management challenge. Nevertheless, battery wastes may also offer a business opportunity in terms of providing a valuable secondary source of materials needed for LIBs fabrication. The existing recycling technologies, such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, or direct recycling, are constantly developing by combined efforts of the research community and industry. Here, the current range of approaches to LIB recycling will be outlined, and the involvement of KIT in developing recycling technology within three EU projects (LiBinfinity, RHINOCEROS, and LICORNE) will be described. © copyright by Karlsruher Institut für Technologie Allgemeine Services - Crossmedia Abdruck honorarfrei im redaktionellen Bereich Belegexemplar erbeten *** Local Caption *** *** Kundenauftrag *** Helmholtz Institute Ulm Oleksandr Dolotko The constantly rising usage of Li-ion batteries in our daily life and the rapid growth of the electric vehicles industry creates a severe waste-management challenge.
