👨🏫 Session Co-Chairs: Zhenming XU, professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University; Hexing LI, professor at Shanghai University of Electric Power
📋 Session Overview:
Driven by the rapid expansion of new energy vehicles and energy storage industries, lithium-ion power batteries (LIBs) are entering an era of mass application and subsequent retirement. Spent batteries are known as "urban mines" containing key strategic metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, yet they also pose potential environmental risks. Their efficient, eco-friendly, and high-value recycling is pivotal for securing strategic resource supply, fostering a circular economy, and achieving carbon neutrality goals. This sub-forum focuses on the high-quality recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries. It delves into maximizing resource recovery efficiency, economic viability, and environmental benefits through technology integration, process optimization, cross-chain collaboration, and policy guidance. The session aims to provide a high-level platform for global researchers, engineers, and policymakers to exchange cutting-edge advancements, stimulate innovative collaborations, and jointly promote the green, low-carbon, and sustainable development of the spent power battery recycling industry.
