Enhancing Disassembly Practices for Electric Vehicle Battery
To promote sustainability, Li–ion batteries in EVs are often disassembled during the recycling process for secondary use or recovery of valuable materials and components.

Disassembling battery cells shows the risk of high-voltage injuries and triggering thermal or chemical reactions if the cell sustains damage during the process. This may result in the release of hydrofluoric acid when it comes into contact with water or the potential for an organic solvent electrolyte to ignite due to a short circuit [ 46 ].
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.
This not only extends the process chain, but also reduces the purity of the recovered cathode materials .Thus, battery cells should be disassembled down to the individual electrodes to achieve a pure separation as well as efficient collection of the active materials , as shown in Figure 4 (direct recycling with route B).
Disassembly tests were executed with the demonstrator. Findings proved that semi-automated disassembly of battery systems is feasible. They have developed a concept, i.e., a workstation for more flexibility, productivity, and safety in the disassembly of LIBs, at the module level.
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.
The obligation for the manufacturers to provide detailed information on the disassembly sequence, fastening methods, and SoX enables overcoming the lack of information from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) regarding battery disassembly .

EV-LIB disassembly is recognized as a critical bottleneck for mass-scale recycling. Automated disassembly of EV-LIBs is extremely challenging due to the large variety and uncertainty of retired EV-LIBs. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) provide new ways for addressing these problems.

The economics of second-life battery storage also depend on the cost of the repurposed system competing with new battery storage. To be used as stationary storage, used batteries must undergo several processes that are currently costly and time-intensive. Each pack must be tested to determine the remaining state of health of battery, as it will vary for each …

Lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are relatively high-energy batteries. It has extremely flat discharge characteristics when discharging at medium current (can discharge flatly within 90% capacity range). The battery can work within the range of -40℃~+85℃. However, the capacity at -40℃ is about 50% of the normal temperature capacity. Low self-discharge rate …

Based on the average battery composition in 2020 [7], a total material loss of up to 92% for Li, Co, and Ni can be avoided if the retired LIBs are recycled under the targets of the European Commission (EC). By 2035, recycling could provide 22% of Li and Ni as well as 65% of Co needed for LIBs production in the EU [7].
When you mix old and new, the fresh battery will send out all its current for the voltage and internal resistance, which can be a lot more than an older battery. Over time this will over discharge the older battery and it will start to leak. Not to mention the new battery won''t last as long as the new battery will be supplying most of the power.
People often ask "well can''t I just wash out the old electrolyte with new and fix the battery"? Well, each cell is like 200 plates of interleaved positive/separator/neg plates with flaked bits of plate packed into the separator. The flaked stuff is insoluble and can''t be washed out. Replacing the electrolyte fixes nothing.
