The AdRecBat project integrates trigger mechanisms into three key areas of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to enable direct recycling at the end of their service life, thereby prioritizing sustainability.

Research teams from the Leibniz Institute for New Materials, Fraunhofer ISC, and FAU Erlangen are pooling their expertise in this BMBF project. Their goal is to design lithium-ion batteries in such a way that the materials used can be easily separated from each other at the end of their service life and recycled separately. To this end, the partners are analyzing key points where the materials are securely bonded during the batteries' service life but can be easily separated at the end of their life. The Particle Technology Group at Fraunhofer ISC is responsible for scaling inductive trigger materials and characterizing the behavior of LIB materials in inductive high-frequency fields.
