Teaching Aid Regarding the Application of Advanced Organic Petrography in Recycling End-of-Life Lithium-Ion Batteries

This teaching aid aims to illustrate a range of the most common materials in end-of-life (EoL) lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to demonstrate the usefulness of advanced organic petrography in the characterization of EoL LIB materials and to assess the efficiency of LIB recycling processes from the pre-processing stage up to the impurities of the metallurgical processes. Additionally, it may be useful for students, petrographers, and professionals in battery development and recycling.
