• Abstract:
  This study used a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research techniques. First, the research team conducted semi structured interviews with six experts from EV and EV battery manufacturing companies in the United States and China. These interviews aimed to gather in-depth insights into the challenges faced in the current EV battery recycling processes, the impact of unregulated recyclers, and the potential benefits and barriers to implementing blockchain technology. Second, the team developed a model based on the Stackelberg game theory that was then used to analyze the strategic interactions among different stakeholders in the EV battery supply chain. The model includes a manufacturer, a retailer, a regulated recycler, and an unregulated recycler. It compares scenarios with and without blockchain adoption to assess its impact on recycling quantities, prices, and profits. The model uses mathematical equations to represent the decision-making processes of each stakeholder and to derive equilibrium (a state where supply and demand in a market are balanced) outcomes.
