Opportunities for improved circularity include design for disassembly through modular approaches, development of materials for substitution, fabrication efficiency through novel selective synthesis of metals, high-throughput manufacturing of precision devices, and manufacturing processes that enable use of recycled materials for product.
However, cost-optimal energy storage with intermittent renewable power systems (solar and wind) and EVs is a significant challenge [5]. Rechargeable batteries are classified by chemistry with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), lead-acid (PbA) batteries, and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries among the most commonly used [6], [7].
Compared with traditional energy storage technologies, mobile energy storage technologies have the merits of low cost and high energy conversion efficiency, can be flexibly located, and cover a large range from miniature to large systems and from high energy density to high power density, although most of them still face challenges or technical

The transition from fossil-based energy production and consumption systems, such as oil, natural gas, and coal, to renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries, is called the energy transition. The rising penetration of renewable energy in the energy supply mix, the beginning of electrification, and advances in energy storage are all
Circular economy principles for solar photovoltaics In addition to delivering electricity to the grid, solar energy generation is expected to play a critical role in achieving deep electricity decarbonization and support economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions through electrification of other sectors.
Development directions in mobile energy storage technologies are envisioned. Carbon neutrality calls for renewable energies, and the efficient use of renewable energies requires energy storage mediums that enable the storage of excess energy and reuse after spatiotemporal reallocation.
Another pathway to enable circularity for solar PV manufacturers is voluntary labeling procedures that provide transparency into module composition, justify hazardous waste classifications, and/or document overall carbon intensity , , , , , .
Policies can incentivize innovation in designing batteries for circularity and the development of LIB reuse/recycling services, business models, and processes. This, along with mobile and devices, can drive and enable a circular economy for LIBs. Regulation can also act as a barrier to the desired outcome.
One advanced technology that could facilitate PV circularity is removal of the PV module front cover glass from the semiconductor and encapsulant materials using a “hot knife method” , .
There is a potential for a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) in the United States. LiB reuse/recycling efforts can reduce negative environmental impacts associated with the lifecycle of a battery and lead to new and expanded markets and job creation. However, there are many technical, economic, and regulatory factors that currently inhibit this circular economy.
