Abstract

Abstract:

Waste batteries contain a lot of metal substances, which, if not properly treated, will cause serious environmental pollution and waste of resources. Recycling waste batteries to prepare functional materials can not only effectively solve the difficulty of disposal of the harmful waste batteries, but also reduce the preparation cost of functional materials. Firstly, this paper summarized the composition and types of batteries, the significance of recycling of waste batteries and the status of their recycling and disposal. Secondly, this paper focused on the research status and latest progress of recycling waste batteries for the preparation of functional materials and the recycling techniques were classified according to the different processes. Finally, the existing problems were discussed, and we pointed out that simple processing would be the main development trend in the future.

Key words: recovery, waste batteries, preparation, regeneration, functional materials
