【Abstract】Recently, the rapid progress of the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector has resulted in a growing demand for power batteries. The urgency to find environmentally friendly and efficient methods for recycling retired power batteries has turned into a pressing issue. Therefore, this research proposes four multi-channel recycling models that encompass a battery supplier, a third-party recycler, and a NEV manufacturer. Among them, the battery supplier is subject to the government reward-penalty scheme and adopts blockchain to track information on power batteries. Recycled power batteries are either utilized in echelon utilization or dismantled for raw materials, depending on their varying capacity. We conduct a Stackelberg game analysis to examine the influence of blockchain adoption and government reward-penalty scheme on recycling channel selections, recycling rates, and social, economic, and environmental benefits. Through numerical analysis, the following key findings are obtained: (i) when the recycling price competition degree is relatively low and the sensitivity degree of consumers to the recycling price is relatively high, tripartite participation in recycling can achieve the highest recycling rate and social welfare. (ii) Within a certain range of reward-penalty intensity, the government rewardpenalty scheme can significantly augment recycling rates, and lowering the recycling rate target may increase supply chain members' profits. (iii) The efficacy of blockchain adoption enhances the battery supplier's willingness to participate in recycling and the decision to invest in blockchain, which yields ancillary advantages for the NEV manufacturer.
