A review of construction and sustainable recycling strategies of lithium-ion batteries across electric vehicle platforms.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) hinges on addressing two critical challenges of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs): thermal safety risks and end-of-life sustainability. This review provides a systematic comparison of LIB integration across four EV architectures including battery electric (BEV), hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), with a dual focus on mitigating thermal runaway and advancing recycling technologies. Through analysis of recent previous studies, we reveal three key findings: (1) battery pack configurations and thermal management systems across platforms; (2) thermal runaway mechanisms and mitigation strategies through case studies of field failures; and (3) emerging recycling methods achieve material recovery with lower energy input, though industrial-scale implementation remains challenging. Our meta-analysis identifies hydrometallurgy as the most viable near-term solution for LIB recycling (80-95% metal recovery), while highlighting promising alternatives like electrochemical relithiation that preserve cathode crystal structure. The work further examines critical infrastructure gaps, demonstrating that renewable-powered charging and localized recycling networks could reduce EV lifecycle emissions by 30-40%. By bridging materials innovation with systems engineering, this review provides a roadmap for developing safer, more sustainable LIB ecosystems from cell design to second-life applications, and prioritizes research directions for next-generation batteries compatible with evolving EV architectures.
