Don't let the dynamic lithium battery recycling difficult to hinder the development of new energy vehicles

According to data released by my country's Automobile Industry Association, in the first half of the year, my country's new energy vehicles accumulated 1206,000 units, up 201.5% year-on-year. Broken new energy vehicles boost core components - production of dynamic lithium-ion batteries.

In the first half of the year, my country's powered lithium-ion battery production accumulated 74.7GWH, a year-on-year increase of 217.5%.

Behind the bright data is hidden in a problem: how many power lithium-ion batteries have more battery to "retire", but the power lithium-ion battery recycling industry is not standardized enough, and the recycling system is not perfect, there is security Environmental hidden danger. New energy vehicles began in 2014 to popularize in China, and their dynamic lithium-ion battery life is around 8 years. According to the industry's statistics, the total amount of "retired" in my country's dynamic lithium-ion battery is about 200,000 tons; in 2022, it is expected that there will be 420,000 tons of power lithium-ion batteries "retire"; 2025, this number is expected to rise to 780,000 Ton.

In the face of the upcoming powerful lithium-ion battery "retire" tide, insiders pointed out that the recycling system of the dynamic lithium-ion battery should be improved, the ladder utilization and re-resource recycling system should prevent the back leg of the new energy vehicle. On the one hand, my country's new energy automotive production and sales continues in six years, and the excellent vehicle manufacturing capacity and power lithium-ion battery production power, the power lithium-ion battery recovery is just starting. According to media reports, due to the high recovery cost and processing cost of formal channels, low economic benefits, about half of the "retired" power lithium-ion battery flows into informal market through informal channels.

This is a powerful lithium-ion battery "retire" tide. On the other hand, new energy vehicles have been known for green, environmentally friendly and energy saving. However, power lithium-ion batteries can cause environmental pollution if the recycling is improperly disposed.

Once the lithium phosphate ion battery, once the electrolyte leak occurs, it can cause toxic and corrosive electrolyte flow into the natural environment. Heavy metals such as manganese, cobalt, nickel contained in three-dimensional lithium ion battery materials will cause pollution to water and soil. At the same time, the dynamic lithium-ion battery performance index of new energy vehicles is high, and the battery capacity is attenuated to more than 20%.

Therefore, many "retired" dynamic lithium-ion batteries can still be used and re-resource, and they will cause waste. Pollution and waste will undoubtedly harm new energy vehicles to maintain many years of environmental protection, energy-saving images. Power lithium-ion battery recycling is an important part of the development of the new energy vehicle industry in the future, and it is urgent to suppress the short board.

At the moment, the "retired" power lithium-ion battery recycles important ladder utilization and recycling to extract two major directions of raw materials. The amount of battery residual value is difficult to estimate that metal price fluctuations affect material recovery economy, ladder use lack of technical standards, etc. In fact, the regulatory level is frequently operated in the dynamic lithium-ion battery recovery.

As early as 2018, 7 departments of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly launched a new energy vehicle power storage battery recycling pilot work. This year, "Accelerating the Construction of the Power Lithium Ion Battery Recycling System" is also included in the government's report. The National Development and Reform Commission issued on July 1st "The 14th Five-Year Plan" Circular Economic Development Plan also lasted one of the key projects.

Future, more refined industry standards and regulations are expected to help the industry to move toward healthy development. From a commercial point of view, the power lithium-ion battery recycling is still a blue sea, the development potential is very large. Organity is expected that in the case of China's residual value, the amount of phosphate and ion battery ladder will reach 68 billion yuan in 2020 to 2030.

2020 ~ 2030 three-yuan lithium ion battery accumulated recycling space will reach 13.5 billion yuan in the case. It can be said that the powerful lithium-ion battery recycling should be standardized, and it is also worth deep.

It is necessary to build a sound recycling system to help new energy automobile industry healthy development. Image (Source: Worker Daily) / Author: Du Xin).
