1. Hydrometallurgical Recycling of Lithium-Ion Battery Materials
2023 by Joey Jung, Pang-Chieh Sui, Jiujun Zhang
"Hydrometallurgical Recycling of Lithium-Ion Battery Materials" is a thrilling deep dive into the wild and often soggy world of recovering valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries, which have inconveniently decided to pile up everywhere due to their enthusiastic use in everything from phones to cars. This book is a bit like a guide for space explorers trying to turn toxic moon dust into gold, except the moon is Earth, the dust is spent battery cathodes and the gold is... well, metals like lithium and cobalt. Packed with hydrometallurgical wizardry (that’s science speak for extracting stuff with water and chemicals), it meanders through current practices, looming challenges and surprisingly hopeful future solutions, all while giving you a backstage pass to commercial ventures and ingenious closed-loop systems. Whether you’re a scientist, an engineer, or someone who’s ever wondered if old batteries could be alchemized into something useful, this book will leave you pondering the mysteries of chemistry, economics and why recycling feels just a little like saving the universe.

2. Recycling of Power Lithium-Ion Batteries: Technology, Equipment, and Policies
2022 by Xiao Lin, Xue Wang, Gangfeng Liu, Guobin Zhang
"Recycling of Power Lithium-Ion Batteries: Technology, Equipment and Policies" is the sort of book that might sound terribly serious—because it is—but in a way that feels like attending a fascinating lecture given by a highly intelligent alien who just landed and decided to fix Earth’s battery problem. It elegantly weaves together the history, present chaos and slightly alarming future of lithium-ion battery recycling, with enough real-world case studies to make you wonder if batteries secretly run the world (spoiler: they do). Crafted by an all-star team of battery boffins, the book isn’t just about recycling—it’s about sustainable revolutions, clever policies and ingenious technology, all served with a garnish of global regulatory intrigue. Whether you’re a scientist, engineer, policy maker, or someone who just likes to ask, "What really happens to my phone battery when it dies?"—this book will leave you feeling informed, hopeful and slightly smug at your newfound knowledge of green battery utopias.

3. Recycling of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries: Processing Methods and Environmental Impacts
2019 by Liang An
In a universe where dead lithium-ion batteries quietly pile up like forgotten relics of humanity’s overenthusiastic gadget obsession, Recycling of Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries takes you on a thrillingly detailed tour of what happens when these tiny energy prisons give up the ghost. From cracking open their mysterious inner workings (spoiler: it’s not magic) to pondering the environmental doom they might cause if left unchecked, this book gleefully dissects the science of giving these power packs a second chance. Along the way, it explores fiery recycling methods, chemical wizardry and the surprisingly lucrative art of turning battery leftovers into something shiny and new—all while keeping an eye on the planetary balance sheet. Whether you’re an academic, a policymaker, or just someone who’s mildly concerned that their old laptop battery is plotting environmental sabotage, this book might just save the world—or at least make it a little less cluttered.

4. Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries: The LithoRec Way
2017 by Arno Kwade, Jan Diekmann
In a world careening toward an electric future, where lithium-ion batteries multiply faster than rabbits on a caffeine binge, Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries: The LithoRec Way takes a bold leap into the mechanical and chemical mayhem of turning yesterday’s dead batteries into tomorrow’s rare-material bonanza. From the industrial ballet of disassembly to the chemical wizardry of extracting the good stuff, this book explores the nuts, bolts and molecules of a process that’s as clever as it is necessary. It even tosses in a handy framework for pondering the environmental and economic implications of your newfound recycling empire. Whether you’re a researcher, an operator, or just someone trying to make sense of a future where your car runs on reclaimed electrons, this book has you covered—preferably in a sturdy hazmat suit.

5. Used Battery Collection and Recycling
2001 by G. Pistoia, J.-P. Wiaux, S.P. Wolsky
"Used Battery Collection and Recycling" is not just a book; it’s a sprawling, almost comically detailed odyssey into the life and afterlife of the humble battery—a small, seemingly innocuous device that, once drained of its mystical energy, transforms into a ticking time bomb of regulatory headaches, chemical conundrums and environmental angst. The authors guide us through a labyrinth of global laws, processes and terrifyingly enthusiastic industrial methods for salvaging the dregs of portable power, all while cheerfully reminding us of the dire consequences of not doing so. From the plucky lead-acid to the glamorous lithium-ion, every battery gets its moment of glory (and scrutiny), as does the fine art of plucking them from electric vehicles and other gizmos before they quietly poison the planet. It’s a tale of efficiency, safety and human ingenuity—but mostly, it’s about not accidentally detonating the ozone layer with your old flashlight.
