Therefore, a comprehensive and in-depth review of the recycling technologies for spent lithium iron phosphate batteries (SLFPBs) is essential. The review provided a visual summary of the existing recycling technologies for various types of SLFPBs, facilitating an objective evaluation of these technologies.
In recent years, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in electric vehicles have significantly increased concerns over potential environmental threats. Besides reducing environmental pollution, recycling valuable materials is crucial for resource utilization.
Degradation of the battery content (especially electrolyte) in some cases may lead to the emergence of chemicals structurally similar to chemical warfare agents. The initial studies on the (eco)toxicity of the cathode nanomaterials showed that LIBs may pose a threat to living organisms and human health.
Spent LIBs are considered hazardous wastes (especially those from EVs) due to the potential environmental and human health risks. This study provides an up-to-date overview of the environmental impacts and hazards of spent batteries. It categorises the environmental impacts, sources and pollution pathways of spent LIBs.
The toxicity of the battery material is a direct threat to organisms on various trophic levels as well as direct threats to human health. Identified pollution pathways are via leaching, disintegration and degradation of the batteries, however violent incidents such as fires and explosions are also significant.
Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFPBs) have gained widespread acceptance for energy storage due to their exceptional properties, including a long-life cycle and high energy density. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are experiencing numerous end-of-life issues, which necessitate urgent recycling measures.
