Recycling lithium ion batteries from electric vehicles
The first issue of Nature was published in November 1869. The 150th anniversary issue explores the past, present and future of Nature and of science.
Selected to be one of Nature's 150th Anniversary Reviews, "Recycling lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles", outlines processes for dismantling and recycling lithium-ion battery packs from scrap electric vehicles are outlined.

"Recycling Lithium Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles" featured in World Bank Working Paper "Reuse and Recycling : Environmental Sustainability of Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage Systems"
The call for urgent action to address climate change and develop more sustainable modes of energy delivery is generally recognized. It is also apparent that batteries, both in the transportation and the power sectors, need to play a predominant role if the global community is to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius. Simply put, nations’ efforts will focus largely on electrifying transportation systems to be supported by power systems that deliver low carbon energy, using a range of renewable technologies. Stationary batteries will play a critical role in not only providing direct energy services, but also in acting as backup providers when renewable resources are only able to provide intermittent services, dependent on local climatic and other circumstances. The objective of this report is to provide an overview of the state of affairs with regards to reuse and recycling of lithium-ion or Li-ion batteries, in order to assess if and to what extent developing countries can and should play a larger role in this burgeoning area.
Our Nature paper “Recycling Lithium Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles” has been cited in the World Bank Report “Reuse and Recycling : Environmental Sustainability of Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage Systems”.

With an amazing editorial team this new journal will help drive innovation through high-quality research.
Gavin has joined the editorial board of FrontiersIn Sustainable Resource Management as Review Editor for Sustainable Materials. With an amazing editorial team this new journal will help drive innovation through high-quality research.
The journal Frontiers in Sustainable Resource Management aims to publish high quality scientific research papers that deal with human use of natural resources. Sustainability is a concept that considers a systems ability to function and maintain purpose during normal operation as well as in the face of disturbance. As all coupled human and natural systems are open in the thermodynamic sense, the foundational requirements for sustainability depends on the energy and material resources flowing in and out. The renewability of the resource flows comes into play as well as the impact the outflows have in the receiving environments. This journal seeks research papers that explore and explain, describe and discuss, and model and manage resources from a sustainability perspective at the scale of the producer and consumer. Areas covered by this journal include, but are not limited to:
Natural Resources
Sustainable Land Use
Sustainable Materials
Smart Technologies
Sustainable Resources and Policy
Waste Management
Generally speaking, this journal integrates earth and natural sciences with engineering, technology, and corporate and social responsibility. While sustainable resource management is a vast topic, not all papers are best suited for this journal. Examples of papers that are out of scope are ones that are overly specific case studies, technical reports, experimental results without a sustainability context, or local survey work lacking broader implications. We particularly encourage papers that address sustainable resource management from the perspective of system structure and function, and the integrated ways in which this contributes to human environmental interactions. This journal operates in close collaboration with our sister journal, Frontiers in Sustainability.
