Abstract
The issue of trashed power batteries in the market has gotten worse as the new energy vehicle sector continues to grow. Power batteries have entered a phase of rapid expansion. The national environmental protection sector has focused a lot of attention on the pollution that wasted batteries produce and the methods for preventing and controlling it. This study examines the risks that spent power batteries pose to the environment and public health, provides an overview of the fundamentals of spent battery creation and treatment, and focuses on assessing potential uses for spent batteries in recycling and in safe treatment systems. In an effort to offer more information and suggestions, it also projects the potential uses and real-world applications of power batteries in future energy vehicles.
