Sustainable Hydrometallurgical LFP Battery Recycling: Electrochemical Approaches.
Article in ChemSusChem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are crucial for the energy transition, particularly with the rising demand for electric vehicles. Among different battery technologies, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have been attracting considerable attention in recent years due to their safe chemistry and relatively cheaper and abundant material composition. As LFP manufacturing is set to increase significantly, a proper end-of-life treatment of these batteries becomes essential to achieve circularity and minimize environmental impacts. However, recycling of LFP batteries is economically challenging because they do not contain many valuable transition metals. This Concept article focuses on recycling of LFP batteries, and explores whether economically viable LFP recycling can be made possible via improvement of recycling processes. Currently, hydrometallurgical recycling processes with inexpensive oxidants for leaching valuable lithium show potential, compared to pyrometallurgical processes. However, these processes still consume large amounts of chemicals. Electrochemical recycling methods that do not require continuous addition of external reagents, or minimize waste production, could lead to more sustainable and economically viable solutions for LFP battery recycling. In addition, combining these processes with other sustainable electrochemical technologies such as green hydrogen production, brine desalination and chemical production is a promising strategy to increase overall energy and product efficiency.
