Recycling and disposal of lithium batteries: an economical and environmental approach

The adoption of lithium-ion battery technology for electric vehicles/hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) has recently received attention worldwide. The price of cobalt (Co) and lithium (Li) has increased due to the production of EV/HEV. A used lithium battery is a valuable source of active metals (Co,...
