Abstract
With the rapid increase in global demand for high-performance batteries, particularly driven by the growth of electric vehicles and large-scale clean energy storage systems, the need for effective battery recycling methods has become more pressing than ever. This paper provides a comprehensive examination of both traditional and innovative methods for battery recycling, which has become increasingly critical due to the growing environmental concerns associated with the disposal of batteries, particularly from electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems. The study analyzes three primary recycling methods: mechanical processing, chemical recovery, and direct reuse, detailing their underlying principles, advantages, and limitations. In addition, the paper introduces an innovative recycling approach that integrates bioremediation microorganisms and nanotechnology to enhance the efficiency of metal recovery and minimize environmental impact. This novel method offers a pollution-free, sustainable solution that addresses the inefficiencies and environmental risks associated with traditional recycling techniques. Through a comparative analysis, the study highlights the potential of this innovative approach to revolutionize battery recycling, contributing to more sustainable practices and the circular economy. The findings emphasize the importance of adopting advanced recycling technologies to meet the increasing demand for battery materials while ensuring environmental protection.
