Abstract :Today, fossil fuels that are not renewable are frequently used. Since their use has continued from past years, their reserves have decreased and since they cannot be renewed, renewable and recyclable materials are needed. These renewable and recyclable energy sources are frequently mentioned because they can be used over and over again or are ready for reuse after being used. In this article, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which can be recycled, and the recycling stages of these batteries are mentioned since the authors of the article want to work in this field. Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) are a type of battery that can be charged and used as an energy storage device. Li-ion batteries are actively used today. The anode material of Li-ion batteries is usually graphite made of carbon. The cathode material is usually metal oxides. The electrolyte material is usually lithium salt in an organic solvent. Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium manganite (LMO), lithium nickel manganite cobalt oxide (NMC) are Li-ion battery types. Recycling of these types is carried out using pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy and mechanical separation methods. In this period when recycling is increasing day by day, this review article on Li-ion batteries is written to help readers in their studies and research.
