Applying Guldmann and Huulgaard (2020) categories of barriers for circular business models innovation, the market and institutional- and value chain level barriers are currently ranked the most important for spent lithium-ion batteries.
Barriers importance for circular business models of lithium-ion batteries. The experts stress that similar to the drivers' findings, most barriers are linked; therefore, identifying a sole dominant barrier is not expected to occur. The highest-rated barrier was “Financial”, reflecting challenges such as incentives and financial viability.
Reuse of lithium-ion batteries in crisis and isolation scenarios. Most experts agreed with the statement that “Reuse of lithium-ion batteries is an excellent choice in crisis and isolation scenarios”. Back-up power systems for the hospital, telecom and military uses, and solar energy accumulation were suggested as potential applications.
Section 5 discusses the major challenges facing Li-ion batteries: (1) temperature-induced aging and thermal management; (2) operational hazards (overcharging, swelling, thermal runaway, and dendrite formation); (3) handling and safety; (4) economics, and (5) recycling battery materials.
Critical materials such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite, and manganese are used in lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). They are finite and are mined in only a few regions around the world. Cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite, and manganese are often found and refined in countries with less-stringent environmental and human health regulations.
Currently, the main drivers for developing Li-ion batteries for efficient energy applications include energy density, cost, calendar life, and safety. The high energy/capacity anodes and cathodes needed for these applications are hindered by challenges like: (1) aging and degradation; (2) improved safety; (3) material costs, and (4) recyclability.
Future research should focus on more in-depth analyses of the assessment categories presented, for example, by studying the value creation and capture in circular business models to upscale the remanufacturing and second use practices of lithium-ion batteries, including empirical data analysis.
Applying Guldmann and Huulgaard (2020) categories of barriers for circular business models innovation, the market and institutional- and value chain level barriers are currently ranked the most important for spent lithium-ion batteries.

A solid-state electrolyte has been used as a safe, non-flammable replacement to the highly flammable liquid organic electrolytes currently used in SOA lithium-ion batteries. This solid-state lithium-sulfur/selenium cell will be designed into a serial stacking configuration to enable dense packaging of the battery cells. The serial stacking configuration is termed a …
As large-format battery energy storage (BES) capacity increases in the United States, so will the volume of spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) (Bade 2019). Estimates based on a 10-year lifetime assumption found that the volume of LiBs that have reached the end of their utility for electric vehicle (EV) applications could total two million units (four million metric tons) …

For example, the industry should provide a stable supply of spent batteries and to point out the natural technical barriers that exist in industrial production; universities and laboratories based on first‐hand technical issues can carry out research and try to expand the scale of experiments. In this way, industry, universities, and laboratories will conduct lab‐scale and industrial ...
Transition to circular economy for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles requires integrating multiple stages of the value cycle. However, strategies aimed at extending the lifetime of batteries are not yet sufficiently considered within the European battery industry, particularly regarding repurposing. Using second-life lithium-ion ...
We outline current strategies for deciding EoL battery pathways, discussing key challenges, as well as technical barriers, that must be overcome. Once a battery has reached the EoL for its primary use, it can follow one of four pathways, as described in Figure 1 and summarised as follows (Engel et al., 2019):

The lifespan of a battery isn''t merely a technical specification; it''s a financial and environmental commitment. Lithium-ion batteries possess a significant edge here, offering up to 1,000 to 2,000 full charge cycles before reaching 80% of their original capacity, as indicated in studies published by the Journal of Power Sources. Consider the professional realm of …

Through a single case study, the objective of this paper is to identify the drivers and barriers in the implementation of the circular economy for lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars. To this end, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three employees of a car manufacturer located in Brazil.
These challenges range beyond scientific and technical issues, to policy issues, and even social challenges associated with the transition to a more sustainable energy landscape.
