Current work presents an innovative route for selective recovery of lithium content in the form of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H2O) from discarded LIBs. Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) with purity > 99% is recovered from black mass. The recovered Li2CO3 is then crystallised to LiOH·H2O by using calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) as the base. The method comprises of: (i) pre-treatment of LIB black mass powder; (ii) selective extraction of Li content from black mass; (iii) crystallisation and solid–liquid separation to recover LiOH·H2O as final recovered product. A total of 0.1933 wt.% impurities comprising of Ca, Al, Cu and Fe were detected in the recovered product. Elemental analysis at each processing step was carried out using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy. Structural properties of the recovered materials are analysed by using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum of recovered product was found consistent with the formation of LiOH·H2O. The LiOH·H2O is successfully recovered from discarded LIBs with purity of 99.8%, which finds its potential use as secondary raw material in battery manufacturing, Li-based high temperature grease manufacturing, carbon dioxide scrubbing in space craft and submarines, etc.</div>","PeriodicalId":502,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Materials Science","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their structure and composition can be precisely controlled by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. Co9S8/Ni3S2/NC-T composite materials possess rich pore structures, unique three-dimensional carbon conductive networks and synergistic effects of Co9S8 and Ni3S2. Experimental results of cyclic voltammetry revealed that the bimetal sulphides in Co9S8/Ni3S2/NC-T can provide substantial redox pseudocapacitance for electrochemical reactions. Electrochemical tests indicated that the optimal carbonization temperature was 700°C, and the Co9S8/Ni3S2/NC-700 electrode material has the highest specific capacity of 2288 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 and an excellent rate capability with retention of about 61.2% at a current density of 10 A g−1.

Furthermore, the significance of substitutional site doping has been elucidated, revealing that Er incorporation can profoundly alter the structural and electronic characteristics of DyVO4. Replacing Er atoms with Dy atoms through substitutional doping reduces the band gap to 2.79 eV compared to the pure zircon-type dysprosium vanadate oxide’s band gap value of 2.87 eV. Cohesive energy of Er-doped DyVO4 oxide has also been computed at the ab initio level of calculation. Partial density of states’ (PDOS) calculations of all configurations, suggest that the doping element Er exhibits favourable chemical interactions with the host metal oxide, DyVO4. Electronic bands near the zero-energy or Fermi level strongly originate from the molecular orbitals of O, V and Dy atoms. Still, we have found that cation substitution at Dy ions’ site largely influences these electronic states and decreases band gap energy value. Consequently, by adjusting concentration of the dopant, the band gap of DyVO4 oxide can be finely tuned to achieve specific desired levels, which is suitable for electronic applications.</div>","PeriodicalId":502,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Materials Science","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
