Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which store energy leveraging the reversible reduction of lithium ions, power most devices and electronics on the market today. Due to their wide range of operating temperatures, long lifespan, small size, fast charging times and compatibility with existing manufacturing processes, these rechargeable batteries can greatly contribute to the electronics industry, while also supporting ongoing efforts towards carbon neutrality.
Could you explain further what you mean? For the, uhh, lay person reading over my shoulder…
I believe the commenter is trying to say that the method is either ineffective at scale or unlikely to be implemented due to the cost of needing workers to open and separate out the components of recycled batteries by hand.
I wasn’t sure if it was that or if there was an inherent problem with manually disassembling lithium ion batteries, like high likelihood of catastrophic failure?
