With the electrification of society in general, and mobility and industry sectors in particular, the volume of discarded batteries and energy materials are rising. The pathways towards the end-of-life management of clean energy technologies are essential for the more sustainable future. These encompass among others, design for R approaches, lifetime extension, and recycling solutions for current and future technology components.
This symposium covers the key aspects and advancements in, including but not limited to: the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with a special focus on the recovery of lithium, aluminum and graphite; recycling approaches for alternative battery chemistries and types, recycling approaches for wind turbines (REE magnets, carbon fibers, …) and photovoltaic systems (silicon, perovskite, ...), as well as systemic perspectives on end of life management and recycling, including metrics and value chain models. |
