Challenges and opportunities for second-life batteries: Key
To reduce the cost of EVs and mitigate their environmental impacts, the retired LIBs should be reused and ultimately recycled. These retired batteries can still retain 70%–80% of
As the world shifts towards a more sustainable energy future, the integration of second life battery energy storage systems presents a pivotal opportunity. These systems leverage used batteries from electric vehicles and other applications, providing a novel solution to energy storage challenges.
Sustainable applications and development of second-life batteries is explored. Challenges and future opportunities in second-life battery utilization is identified. Li-ion (LIB) batteries have emerged as reliable energy storage for transport and grid applications due to their high energy density.
By examining the intersection of battery technology, renewable energy, and circular economy principles, the study presents a multifaceted view of the potential for second-life EV batteries to revolutionize energy storage and contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape.
Second life batteries can serve both renewable energy systems and grid stability. Regulatory Support: Governments are beginning to recognize the value of sustainable battery practices. Incentives and regulations favoring second life battery implementations will likely emerge, significantly enhancing market interest.
