Bio-hydrometallurgical Methods For Recycling Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
Favorable properties of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) including a high energy density, low memory effect, good cycle life, high cell voltage, low self-discharge, wide temperature domain of use, long storage life, safety, and lightweight have gradually led to use of them in the global rechargeable battery market as an alternative of the Ni–MH and Ni–Cd batteries [1,2,3,4].
