Abstract

Decommissioned Power Battery Recycling and An Analysis of Relevant Urban Minerals Extensibility in China

Wang Weiping and LV Zhishan

It is recommended that decommissioned power batteries be categorized as scrap batteries for recycling or batteries with remaining capacity for use in cascade utilization. Leadership from the public sector combined with the power of social participation should see China taking the opportunity to develop the related extensibility research and work on urban minerals, encouraging upstream and downstream enterprises as well as terminal users to implement decommissioned power battery utilization.
