    • Disclosed herein is a method of method of recovering a valuable element from an active material of a lithium or sodium ion battery. The method requiring an active material comprising lithium or sodium ions, where the active material is added to a redox solution that is formed from a solvent and a redox mediator to form a redox solution in a first tank and then moving the redox solution from the first tank to a redox flow cell having a cathode compartment, which compartment has a cathode electrode, and an anode compartment, having an anode electrode, separated by an ion selective membrane, where the cathode electrode and anode electrode are attached to a power supply and the redox solution is subjected to an electrochemical reaction on the anode electrode, where the electrochemical reaction on the anode: regenerates the redox mediator, which is then returned to the first tank and reacts with the active material; and enables transport of the lithium or sodium ions through the ion selective membrane into the cathode compartment, which comprises an aqueous catholyte solution that is obtained from a second tank, and then capturing the lithium or sodium ions and producing hydrogen in the cathode compartment through an electrochemical reaction on the cathode electrode that produces LiOH or NaOH and hydrogen gas and transferring the resulting aqueous LiOH or NaOH and hydrogen gas in the resulting catholyte solution to a second tank, where: the aqueous catholyte solution comprises a hydrogen evolution catalyst to facilitate the production of LiOH or NaOH and hydrogen gas; and the valuable element is selected from one or more of the group consisting of Al, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, Mn, V, and, more particularly, Na and Li.
