With the rapid increase in the decommissioning of the EV Li-ion batteries (EV-LIBs), the EV-LIBs recycling industry is growing dramatically. Based on the realistic supply relationship data of major firms in the EV-LIBs recycling industry, this paper uses the complex network theory to construct a global firm-level EV-LIBs recycling supply chain (EV-LIBs-RSC) network and analyze the structural characteristics of the EV-LIBs-RSC network from the network level. Specifically, The degree distribution, average degree, overall density, average shortest path length, and community structure of EV-LIBs-RSC network are systematically analyzed. The relevant results can assist the government in proposing appropriate industrial policies.
