IDTechEx forecasts that the Li-ion battery recycling market will reach US$52B in value by 2045. Li-ion battery (LIB) demand continues to grow across electric vehicle (EV), energy storage system (ESS), and consumer electronics markets. The sustainability of Li-ion batteries relies on their entire lifecycle management, including at end-of-life (EOL). Eventually, LIBs no longer meet their performance requirements and reach EOL.

Amongst the wide range of next-generation battery technologies being developed, silicon anodes are one of the most promising routes to improved Li-ion batteries. Due to their high capacity, silicon anodes can enable Li-ion energy densities above 1000 Wh/l and 400 Wh/kg, while rate capability and charging times can also be improved. However, achieving long-term cycle stability has been a significant challenge due to the expansion of silicon under lithiation.
