A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Second-Life Battery Supply and Energy Storage Demand in China

Qi Ding (First Author), Wenying Chen (Corresponding Author)

International Conference on Applied Energy (ICAE2025) 2025

This paper presents a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of second-life battery supply and energy storage demand in China, supporting national carbon neutrality goals (2030 peak, 2060 neutral). The study focuses on retired EV battery applications and energy storage demand matching, addressing the critical challenge of spatiotemporal mismatch in battery recycling and reuse systems.
