Millions of functional rechargeable lithium ion batteries are disposed of each year. Some of these are recycledto recover the materials they are made of, but this is expensive and the recovered value is low. A better, andmore sustainable approach, is to identify those batteries that have remaining functional lifetimes and to usethem in new applications. This project is developing a process whereby these end of life batteries can berecovered, rapidly tested, and integrated into portable, low cost, lightweight, solar cell rechargeable powersupply units that can be used to charge mobile phones and to power low energy lighting. There are around 600million people globally with mobile phones that have no access to electricity at home. To charge them, theyoften have to walk for many hours to charging stations to connect their phones to car battery-based chargers; aprivilege for which there are high charges. The power supply units developed in this project will provide lowcost energy for phone charging and low energy lighting applications, using a circular economic approach to thereuse of lithium ion batteries.

每年有数以百万计的功能可充电锂离子电池被丢弃。其中一些是回收制造它们的材料，但这是昂贵的，回收的价值很低。一个更好、更可持续的方法是识别那些还有剩余功能寿命的电池，并将它们用于新的应用。该项目正在开发一种工艺，使这些寿命终止的电池能够被回收、快速测试，并集成到便携式、低成本、重量轻的太阳能电池可充电电源装置中，可用于为移动的电话充电和为低能耗照明供电。全球约有6亿人拥有移动的手机，但家里没有电。为了给手机充电，他们经常要走上几个小时到充电站，把手机连接到汽车电池充电器上;这是一种收费很高的特权。该项目开发的电源装置将为手机充电和低能耗照明应用提供低成本能源，采用循环经济的方法再利用锂离子电池。
