Abstract
2-Hydroxyphosphonic acid (HPAA) was demonstrated to delaminate spent LiFePO4 cathodes from Al foil via a reaction-passivation mechanism, resulting in ultra-high-purity products and facilitating subsequent upgrading. As a proof of concept, FexP catalysts prepared from lithium-extracted FePO4 slag deliver a hydrogen evolution current density of 10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of only 88 mV.
