IDcycLIB: Innovation platform for green and recyclable lithium-ion batteries

Описание: IDcycLIB – Innovation platform for green and recyclable lithium-ion batteries Final video of the project |

As part of the IDcycLIB project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, together with partners from industry and research, has developed new approaches for sustainable, resource-efficient, and recyclable battery technology. The aim of the project was to rethink the entire life cycle of lithium-ion batteries – from environmentally friendly production and digital traceability to direct recycling.

Key project content and results:
Development of water-based, solvent-free manufacturing processes for battery components
Recycling-friendly cell design for automated disassembly and material separation
Digital battery twins and a digital battery passport for recording material and process data
Innovative recycling processes for recovering high-quality battery materials
Life cycle assessments (LCA) to evaluate sustainability and economic efficiency

Through the close integration of materials research, process technology, digitalization, and recycling, the project was able to develop practical solutions that make an important contribution to sustainable electromobility and battery strategy in Europe. This video provides an insight into the research work, demonstrators, and results of IDcycLIB and shows how innovative battery concepts can be made more resource-efficient, transparent, and recyclable in the future.
