However, Co, Ni and Li are limited resources and have the potential to be consumed exponentially. Thus, the development of robust LiB recycling technologies is the need of the hour. Recycling will enable the establishment of a circular economy for these critical elements and will have a positive environmental as well as economic impact. Moreover, Co-free and Codevoid battery chemistries along with Na-ion batteries have shown promise in decreasing the dependence on these critical elements.
