The design of the disassembly system must consider the analysis of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) 1 of the area around the battery pack and, if necessary, adopt tools enabled to work in the corresponding ATEX zone.
However, the current lack of standardisation in design remains a significant barrier to automating battery disassembly . Additionally, the uncertain conditions of end-of-life or damaged EVBs add to the complexity of executing the disassembly process effectively.
To conduct the operations, destructive disassembly has been a prevailing practice. The disassembly phase of the battery pack includes cutting cable ties, cutting cooling pipes, and cutting bonded battery modules and the battery bottom cover for separation .
The duration of the disassembly process, starting from the beginning to complete battery removal, typically ranges from 8 to 16 hours. This timeframe is influenced by factors such as the extent of disassembly, the available workforce, and individual work rates.
They suggested two design modifications to ease disassembly: (i) constructing battery packs without modules, using only larger cells, and (ii) employing reversible adhesives to bind the cells. Gerlitz et al. also noted the difficulty posed by non-detachable joints, such as welding or adhesives, in battery disassembly.
The review concludes with insights into the future integration of electric vehicle battery (EVB) recycling and disassembly, emphasizing the possibility of battery swapping, design for disassembly, and the optimization of charging to prolong battery life and enhance recycling efficiency.
