Following these results, we can draw the conclusion that there is a large recycling potential of secondary nickel resources from NPBs in China, and the technical route
Find out how lithium-ion batteries are recycled, how these batteries are regulated at end of life, and where to take your used lithium-ion batteries for recycling.
In the long term, nickel recycling is not limited to the field of EV battery, a comprehensive recycling system concerning the whole nickel industry is more conducive to promoting the sustainable utilization of nickel resources.
It is assumed that the entire process of nickel recycling is done in a closed loop system. Based on the outflow of nickel, theoretical amount of nickel recovered from spent NPBs can be expressed as: (15) R t = F out t × r B t × r M t where rB (t) is the recycling rate of EV batteries in year t; rM (t) is the recovery rate of nickel.
Yao et al. (2021) predicted the recycling potential of nickel from new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China by 2030, assuming that the lifetime of NEVs obeys a certain normal distribution but ignoring the life of batteries. In fact, different EV models require different types and capacities of batteries, in which the amount of nickel varies.
Following these results, we can draw the conclusion that there is a large recycling potential of secondary nickel resources from NPBs in China, and the technical route of low-nickel content battery and rapid growth of recovery are conducive to alleviate the raw nickel demand gap in EV batteries.
Nickel recycling covers between 67.7 % and 96.6 % of demand for EV batteries in 2050. Nickel recycling meets the demand to the highest degree in the LNCT-RR scenario. China is promoting the production and use of electric vehicles (EVs) to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the shift will drive higher demand and tighter supply of nickel in China.
The changing lifetime of EV and battery, and their mismatch degree may lead to different consequences for nickel recycling in the future. Longer EV lifespan means less nickel inflow to the production of new EVs and, in turn, less recycled nickel in the future.
