Enabling Future Closed‐Loop Recycling of Spent Lithium‐Ion Batteries: Direct Cathode Regeneration (Adv. Mater. 36/2023)

Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Sustainability suggests that the resources used for lithium-ion batteries are finite, and should be used conservatively and wisely. In article 2203218, Zhongwei Chen and co-workers outline and evaluate current direct cathode regeneration methods for industrialized battery recycling, which is anticipated as a flexible guide for closed-loop lithium-ion battery recycling with the aims of high efficiency, high safety, high environmental benefit, high economic return, and high sustainability.
