[0002] With the explosive growth of the global electric vehicle and large-scale energy storage industries, the market demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to rise, leading to an exponential increase in the generation of large quantities of waste lithium-ion batteries. Unrecycled waste batteries result in a serious waste of scarce metal resources such as cobalt and lithium, and environmental pollution. Currently, the market mainly uses hydrometallurgical methods to recover valuable metals from waste batteries; however, this method suffers from low metal recovery efficiency, high energy consumption, and secondary pollution.
