Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which store energy leveraging the reversible reduction of lithium ions, power most devices and electronics on the market today. Due to their wide range of operating temperatures, long lifespan, small size, fast charging times and compatibility with existing manufacturing processes, these rechargeable batteries can greatly
EV-LIB disassembly is recognized as a critical bottleneck for mass-scale recycling. Automated disassembly of EV-LIBs is extremely challenging due to the large variety and uncertainty of retired EV-LIBs. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML) provide new ways for addressing these problems.
As a core component of NEVs, the cost of batteries accounts for 40 % of the cost of NEVs and can be as high as 60 % when the supply of raw materials is unstable [4].The raw materials for NEV batteries are expensive and depend on foreign imports, leading to instability in the supply chain [7] addition, if used batteries are not handled in a timely and
While certain standard connection structures can be disassembled using customised tools or specific programming tasks, non-standard parts (such as cables and shells), as well as parts that deform due to environmental influences, pose additional challenges. Successfully disassembling them requires robots to have high flexibility and
Continuing global growth in consumer electronics, electric vehicles and new energy power generation has caused tremendous demand for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and the recycling of end-of-life LIBs has become a priority for sustainable development.

While certain standard connection structures can be disassembled using customised tools or specific programming tasks, non-standard parts (such as cables and shells), as well as parts that deform due to environmental influences, pose additional challenges.
The battery, which can be disassembled, was also built as a prototype and thoroughly examined. During a tour of Fraunhofer IPA, the project partners had an opportunity to see the demonstrator for automated disassembly developed as part of the “DeMoBat” in action for themselves.
The review concludes with insights into the future integration of electric vehicle battery (EVB) recycling and disassembly, emphasizing the possibility of battery swapping, design for disassembly, and the optimization of charging to prolong battery life and enhance recycling efficiency.
The design of the disassembly system must consider the analysis of potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) 1 of the area around the battery pack and, if necessary, adopt tools enabled to work in the corresponding ATEX zone.
According to the degree of automation, the battery disassembly process can be divided into several categories, namely manual disassembly, semi-automatic disassembly, and fully automated disassembly. Automated disassembly has gradually become a significant trend since there are certain safety risks in the disassembly process.
Proper disassembly of end-of-life vehicle batteries (ELV batteries) is necessary to achieve the integrity and closure of their life cycle, promote the development of green remanufacturing, effectively reduce the pollution of the environment caused by metal ion leakage, and reduce people’s dependence on natural resources to a certain extent.
