The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. There are currently two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries.

Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car.

Transport for London (TfL) has introduced the first long-range, battery-electric BYD Double-Decker buses into revenue service routes. TfL plans to charge the buses overnight using low-cost, off-peak electricity to provide additional cost savings. Route 98 was chosen given its status as a pollution hotspot in the city.
