Status and Progress of the Retired Power Batteries Recycling in the Context of “Double Carbon”

Abstract

In recent years, to promote goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", replacing the traditional vehicles by electric vehicles becomes the essential solution to reduce the environmental pollution. The power battery, as the power source of electric vehicles, is also one of the core components of new energy electric vehicles. As an important part of the future development of pure electric vehicles, the decommissioning process of power battery recycling is summarized and analyzed from the current situation of decommissioned power batteries, the relevant standards and policies of power batteries in recent years, and the development and utilization of two kinds of decommissioned power batteries: dismantling and recycling and secondary utilization, respectively, and for the secondary utilization process, the focus is on the residual energy detection process and the screening and reorganization application scenarios. Finally, relevant suggestions are given to provide ideas for the green development of retired power batteries under the dual carbon target of "carbon peaking and carbon neutral”.
