The unprecedented consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is occurring to meet the needs of modern transportation electrification. Recycling-friendly designs intrinsically facilitate the long-term sustainable utilization of natural resources, reducing the detrimental impacts of spent LIBs on the environment, and improving the economic viability of recycling. For this, we propose the incorporation of an intelligence-assisted predesign strategy into the battery-management system and battery chemistry, including ameliorating the traceability of battery structure and operation status, promoting cost-effective material sorting and separation, and adopting sustainable battery materials. The purposeful predesign of intelligent “Reuse–Refurbish–Recover” (3R) LIBs could be realized in an economically and environmentally sustainable (EES) manner. The intelligence-assisted predesign strategy will promote multi-disciplinary cooperation in a systematic and synergetic way; in addition, it will empower governments to establish and implement a series of regulations and standards for addressing the environmental pollution issues from spent batteries, thus avoiding the ever-increasing consumption of natural resources.

用于锂离子电池及其他可持续回收利用的智能辅助预设计

为满足现代交通电气化的需求，锂离子电池 (LIB) 的空前消耗正在发生。回收友好设计从本质上促进了自然资源的长期可持续利用，减少了废锂离子电池对环境的不利影响，并提高了回收的经济可行性。为此，我们建议将智能辅助的预设计策略纳入电池管理系统和电池化学，包括改善电池结构和运行状态的可追溯性，促进具有成本效益的材料分类和分离，以及采用可持续的电池材料。智能“再利用-翻新-恢复”（3R）LIB 的有目的的预设计可以以经济和环境可持续（EES）的方式实现。情报辅助预设计战略将系统协同推进多学科合作；此外，它将授权政府制定和实施一系列法规和标准，以解决废电池对环境的污染问题，从而避免对自然资源的不断增加的消耗。
