Abstract

Provided is a method for assessing recycling of a secondary battery electrode, the method making it possible to assess a degree of deterioration of the electrode to be recycled. This method for assessing recycling of a secondary battery electrode involves assessing the degree of deterioration of an electrode included in a secondary battery being assessed, and includes: a threshold estimating step (step S1) for using a trained model to estimate a threshold Dth of an electrolytic solution diffusion coefficient of the secondary battery being assessed, on the basis of input data, which are data including some characteristic parameters of the secondary battery being assessed; and a classifying step (step S2) for comparing the threshold Dth with a threshold Dth0 of the electrolytic solution diffusion coefficient before deterioration of the secondary battery being assessed or a secondary battery of the same type as the secondary battery being assessed, and, on the basis of a difference ΔDth=Dth-Dth0 between the threshold Dth and threshold Dth0, classifying the secondary battery being assessed.
