The limited reserve of non-renewable energy sources and increased demand for energy due to technological development and higher quality lifestyle has shifted the research directions towards the use of alternative renewable energy sources. As renewable energy can’t be instant, there is a great need to develop advanced energy storage devices for sustainable energy. The requirement of high-power density, high charge capacitance, and long cyclic stability of batteries and supercapacitors has made them promising device for storage but with the disadvantage of adding environmental pollution due to different metal ions and toxic materials of the scrapped batteries and capacitors. This has led to the development of various technologies for recycling energy storage materials and devices to reduce environmental hazards. This chapter gives an insight into the processes of heat treatment, chemical treatments, metallurgy methods, etc. for the recycling of the materials of storage devices along with the extraction and recovery of metals and other carbon-based materials from cathode, anode, and electrolytes.
