Spent lithium-ion batteries contain hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury, which, if not properly disposed of, can leach into soil and water, causing significant ecological harm. Recycling can help lower the cost of battery production. Creating a one-size-fits-all recycling approach is challenging due to these variations.
