Environmental Analysis of Pure Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling and Utilization
Car brings convenience to people's work and life, however, there are too many environmental issues such as energy shortages, atmospheric pollution and greenhouse effect have been caused by using a lot of traditional fuel cars, which threaten mankind survival. Pure electric vehicle (PEV) has its unique advantage for high efficiency, low noise, less environmental pollution and can use alternative energy sources, therefore, PEV has achieved rapid development with governments and automobile manufacturers support. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are considered to be the best choice of power batteries for electric vehicles due to their high energy density, high working voltage, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate. With the production, use and scrap of Li-ion battery, the recycling and the utilization of Li-ion will become the focus of attention.
