Scientific and Technology Conference on Circular Economy of Batteries: Production and Recycling

The rapid progresses in the battery technologies directly affects our daily life not only with various application, but also with energy and carbon foot-print of their production and manufacturing from mining to end-of-life product management. CEB2018 conference opens all related topics, electrode materials, electrolyte, design and development, applications and recycling, for discussion. We aim to bring scientists, researchers, experts, manufactures, users and recyclers together from the different fields under the same roof to share their knowledge, their expectations, technical and economical limitations of their work, and their dreams to take the initiative for a circular economy of batteries.

Scientific and Technology Conference on Circular Economy of Batteries: Production and Recycling (CEB2018) conference topics:

• Raw materials. Raw material supply is the first and the critical step to create a sustainable battery technology. Researchers and battery producers require different kind of metals, metal oxides, other inorganic substance and organic materials for the manufacturing.
• Recycling. The need of the sustainable development has been a substantial motivation to recover valuable materials from spent batteries. The efforts are made to increase the material recovery rate by the development of efficient recycling technologies.
• Electrolytes. Since the first lithium-ion batteries (LiB), many efforts have been made on the development of new electrodes with high capacity, high energy density and good cycling ability at the expense of the search of new electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries.
• Electrode materials. The quest for new electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) with high energy density and low cost has seen major advances in intercalation compounds like carbonaceous electrodes or alloying materials for negative electrodes and layered metal oxides, spinels, polyanion materials, and composite oxides for positive electrodes.
• Design development. Lithium-ion batteries can be optimized by playing on the chemistry (electrode materials, electrolyte, separator) or by modifying the battery design whatever the technology (Lithium-ion battery, metal-air batteries, Li-S or all solid-state batteries, etc.).
• Applications. There are many types of battery technologies depending on their applications. These batteries can be used for portable applications, electric mobility, stationary applications or smart grids.
• Collection & Regulations. Battery waste is a growing problem all around the world. Although several process were developed for the recycling of the batteries, the amount of the collected batteries is not enough to support the recycling processes which are dedicated for only battery recycling.
