“…All interviews were based on the assumption of a common large-format pouch cell dedicated to automotive applications (e.g., see ref. 69) and a large-scale manufacturing process with an annual production capacity of at least 10 GW h, and have been conducted in two sequential steps. First, experts were asked regarding their expectations of new process technologies along the value chain in a cell plant from electrode production to cell conditioning that are relevant for cell cost.…”

“…[4] Beyond that, OEMs also invest in battery cell production to meet their rising demands. [2,5,6] Accompanied with the massive growth of LIB cell production and application, the amounts of end-of-life LIBs will also increase time-shifted. Therefore, recycling of LIBs will play an important role, not only to further reduce the ecological footprint of electromobility, but also for a more secured raw material supply of geographically unevenly distributed elements like cobalt and nickel.…”

“…Starting mainly from ecological motivations enforced by law, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) also realized the economic potential of electromobility and expand their EV portfolios [4] . Beyond that, OEMs also invest in battery cell production to meet their rising demands [2,5,6] . Accompanied with the massive growth of LIB cell production and application, the amounts of end‐of‐life LIBs will also increase time‐shifted.…”

Herein we report on an analytical study of dry‐shredded lithium‐ion battery (LIB) materials with unknown composition. Samples from an industrial recycling process were analyzed concerning the elemental composition and (organic) compound speciation. Deep understanding of the base material for LIB recycling was obtained by identification and analysis of transition metal stoichiometry, current collector metals, base electrolyte and electrolyte additive residues, aging marker molecules and polymer binder fingerprints. For reversed engineering purposes, the main electrode and electrolyte chemistries were traced back to pristine materials. Furthermore, possible lifetime application and accompanied aging was evaluated based on target analysis on characteristic molecules described in literature. With this, the reported analytics provided precious information for value estimation of the undefined spent batteries and enabled tailored recycling process deliberations. The comprehensive feedstock characterization shown in this work paves the way for targeted process control in LIB recycling processes.

“…Wang et al [18] used a two-stage MCDMbased spherical fuzzy set for the site selection of an offshore wind power station (OWPS). Duffner et al [19] systematically proposed a methodology to evaluate the location selection for battery manufacturing plants, considering the most relevant parameters, namely cost and knowledge. They applied the proposed methodology to the 28 countries within the European Union.…”

This study aims to help managers develop a proper strategy and policy for their company’s future. After the global COVID-19 pandemic, developed countries decided to change their production and relocate and re-industrialize. The U.S.’s big electronics and automobile companies are not an exception to this rule. The lithium batteries are the main instrument of mobile phone and electric vehicles. The leading lithium battery supplier for the U.S mobile phone companies is China. Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile (in South America) have some of the largest lithium mines in the world; these countries are known as the lithium triangle. Among the 86 million tonnes of lithium resources worldwide, 49.9 million tonnes exist in this area. The researchers in this study surveyed the best country for constructing a battery for companies in the U.S. Because of the growth of electric vehicles and their use of the lithium battery, the world is facing astronomical prices for lithium. To emphasize this issue and help managers create good policy, this study combined multiple methods. The improved suitability-feasibility-acceptability (SFA) strategy is integrated with the Bayesian best-worst method (BBWM) and measurement of alternatives and rankings according to compromise solution (MARCOS) multicriteria methods to determine the best destination. For comparison, based on the SFA strategy, seven criteria are introduced: commercially viable reserves, national minimum wage, corporate income tax, accessibility to mining companies, accessibility to the waterway, population, and political stability index. The Bayesian BWM analysis reveals that the foremost factor is corporate income tax, whereas MARCOS’s findings indicate that Chile is the best country to construct the lithium battery industry. To verify the proposed approach, a comparison analysis also is performed.
