Abstract

Abstract Among various recycling lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) methods, direct recycling consumes far less energy and fewer chemical agents. Most direct regeneration approaches become the specialized process of repairing individual materials due to the different degraded levels of spent materials. This review summarized the solid‐state sintering, hydrothermal, eutectic salt, electrochemical, and other emerging methods used for directly repairing various retired power batteries, with a particular focus on their universality when repairing electrodes. Recent progress of different direct recycling methods for retired power batteries (LiFePO 4 , LiCoO 2 , LiNi x Co y Mn z O 2 ) are outlined, the progress of…
