Recovery of metal elements from spent lithium batteries using their inherent “Lattice redox energy”
Spent lithium batteries (SLIBs) cathode material possess the ability of redox (“lattice redox energy”), which was always overlooked. This study conceptualizes SLIB recycling as the reverse process of battery manufacturing, proposing to utilize inherent oxidative driving force to substitute the externally supplied redox reagents in recycling process. By revealing the mechanism of LiCoO2 (LCO) lattice redox potential regulation, we constructed a self-driven recycling process for LCO (or LiNixCoyMnzO2) batteries and LiFePO4 batteries using Fe2+/Fe3+ as an “electron shuttle bus”. Though 10 cycles, under conditions of no added redox agent, low acidity (pH 1.53), low acid consumption (1.04 times the stoichiometric amount), and high solid-liquid ratio (98 g/L), the leaching efficiency reached 100 % for lithium and 96.5 % for cobalt. The utilization of lattice redox energy from SLIBs reduced the economic cost of reagents needed in the recycling process by 42 %.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
