Manufacturing and recycling of lithium ion batteries
The ongoing debate on global warming and climate change has created a craving for electric vehicles as a contribution to achieving the global greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and improving air quality in urban cities. This creates a need for more knowledge about battery management, both in terms of manufacturing methods and recycling methods.
Content
The course aims to provide an understanding of how lithium-ion batteries are manufactured. It also highlights how batteries that no longer work in vehicles can be reused for e.g. energy storage, and how fully used batteries can be recycled. The course ends with a case study in the form of a life cycle analysis of a lithium-ion battery.
Course contents
• Battery manufacturing
• Reuse of batteries
• Recycling of batteries
