This study proposed a novel two-stage method for the simultaneous recovery of lithium, iron, and phosphorus from mixed spent LFP powder. In the first stage, the powder was reacted with nitric acid solution at 25℃, achieving leaching efficiencies of over 95% for lithium, iron, and phosphorus. The leachate was then regulated and fed into the second stage, a high-temperature (105°C) precipitation process, where iron and phosphorus in the solution are selectively precipitated as FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf>·2H<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf>O. After calcination, the precipitate yielded anhydrous FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf> product. It was proposed to supplement the leachate with fluoride to complex aluminum and reduce its co-precipitation. Copper in the leachate was removed by displacement with iron powder. The aluminum and copper contents in the final FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf> product were reduced to 0.021% and 0.001%, respectively, and the product purity meets the requirements for battery production. The lithium-containing solution after the precipitation process could be recycled as Li<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf>CO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">3</ce:inf> through purification and lithium precipitation. The proposed method improves resource utilization efficiency and reduces the generation of lithium-extracted residues, which will benefit the sustainable development of the LFP battery industry.","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148717585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their practical application is hindered by poor stability in aqueous media and reduced efficiency in high-water environments, where Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> undergoes self-passivation by forming BiOBr, significantly decreasing its photocatalytic activity when water content exceeds 50 vol%. To overcome these limitations, we in situ coupled Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> nanoplatelets (NPLs) with g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, forming a stable Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> NPLs@g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>@AgBr ternary composite in water (100 vol%). This nanocomposite demonstrated remarkable stability in water through the formation of AgBr rather than BioBr, as confirmed by various spectroscopic and diffraction techniques. The optimized 1:2 wt% ratio of Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> to g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> leads to the highest degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) of 0.082 min <sup>-1</sup> which was 14 times greater than Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> NPLs, g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>, or AgBr alone, surpassing all previously reported Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub>-based nanocomposites in both efficiency and stability. Furthermore, the scavenging action of RhB led by the heterojunction photocatalyst resulted in the elimination of 98.3 % of RhB under light. The superior photocatalytic activity of the Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> NPLs@g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>@AgBr ternary composite in aqueous media was confirmed through detailed characterization, which revealed that the formation of a dual S-scheme mechanism significantly enhances interfacial charge separation and transfer, resulting in elevated photocurrent, pronounced photoluminescence quenching, and minimized charge transfer resistance. In addition, this ternary composite exhibited robust environmental stability, preserving its crystallinity and morphology after 6 months of air exposure, while maintaining consistent photocatalytic performance across 4 successive cycles in aqueous conditions. Thus, the present results introduce a novel strategy for stabilizing halide perovskites in high water content, expanding their potential for photocatalytic applications in environmental remediation and sustainable energy solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"155 ","pages":"Pages 407-419"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146147086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
