Blended cathode material for lithium-ion battery has been widely applied in electric vehicles, but effectively recovering valuable metals from the leaching liquor of blended cathode material is difficult due to the high content of manganese. In this study, an effective approach for recovering valuable metals from high-manganese leaching liquor of spent blended cathode materials is proposed. Firstly, 97.5% nickel and 100% cobalt in high-manganese leaching liquor are co-precipitated by sodium ethyl-xanthate under the optimum conditions of pH=5, 2 h, 50 °C and the dosage of sodium ethyl xanthate of 55 g·L -1 . Then, over 95% nickel in precipitate is selectively leached into solution while almost 100% cobalt is still left in precipitate through a two-step ammonia leaching under the conditions of 2 mol·L -1 ammonia, 50 g·L -1 ammonium sulfate, L/S=8 ml·g -1 , 1 h and 40 °C. Finally, the manganese and lithium left in leaching liquor are separated by solvent extraction. Over 99% manganese is effectively extracted and separated from lithium on the conditions of 40% vol D2EHPA, pH=5, 25 °C, the ratio of organic to aqueous (O:A)=1.25 and extraction time of 10 min. The whole recovering process is facile and can help effectively recycle lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese from spent blended cathode materials.

The electrolytes based on lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiODFB) and sulfolane (SL) including LiODFB-ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and LiPF 6 -EC/DMC as the references have been studied on electrochemical performance and interfacial stability in Li/LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 cells. LiODFB-containing electrolytes show outstanding electrochemical stability within 5.5 V due to the passivation phenomenon on the cathodes, while LiPF 6 -containing electrolytes undergo continuous decomposition beyond 4.5 V. The initial charge/discharge profiles and cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves prove that the cell with LiODFB-SL/DMC(2:1 by vol.) electrolyte has lower degree of polarization and better reversibility. The cathode with LiODFB-SL/DMC(2:1 by vol.) electrolyte displays the best cycling performance and the cathode with LiPF 6 -EC/DMC(1:1 by vol.) electrolyte displays the worst cycling performance. AC impedance shows that the cell cycling with LiODFB-SL/DMC(2:1 by vol.) electrolyte has much smaller resistance of charge transfer on cathode/electrolyte interface than the cell cycling with LiODFB-EC/DMC(1:1 by vol.) electrolyte. The characterization of the cathode surfaces indicates that a more homogeneous and compact passivation layer forms on the cathode cycling with LiODFB-SL/DMC(2:1 by vol.) electrolyte to greatly improve the interfacial stability for the reason that SL motivates the passivation reaction of LiODFB and itself participates the formation of the passivation layers. Therefore, LiODFB-SL/DMC(2:1 by vol.) is a promising electrolyte for LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 cathode.

The LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode has been widely used in material markets, especially in conventional lithium ion batteries, due to its stable electrochemical performance. Increasing the working cutoff potential represents an efficient pathway to boost the capacity of LCO batteries; however, high working potentials usually induce severe Co3+ dissolution and extensive growth of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, leading to rapid degradation of the electrochemical performance. In this work, a high voltage cathode is prepared by the encapsulation of aluminum (Al)-doped LiCoO2 in a continuous Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) layer using a high-speed solid-phase coating method. The chemical composition evolution of the coating layer during the cycling process was characterized and evaluated through in situ XRD, XPS, and XAS analyses. The precipitation of aluminum fluoride (AlF3) at the defective sites of the LTO coating layer in the initial charge–discharge cycles effectively was found to fortify the structural integrity of the coating layer and prevent the etching of the LCO from undesirable side reactions with the liquid electrolyte. The modified LCO demonstrated an excellent capacity retention of 89.9% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C. The high-speed solid-phase coating method established in this study could be scaled up straightforwardly, providing a highly commercializable approach for large-scale production of stable high-voltage LCO cathode materials.

Silicon (Si) is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity. However, it suffers from poor capacity retention during cycling due to mechanical stresses, pulverization, and an unstable solid electrolyte interface. One practical approach to mitigate the problem is a coating design, where nano-sized silicon is encapsulated within a selected protective layer. In this study, silicon nanoparticles have been coated with a protective layer of Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) ceramic and prepared using a water-based sodium alginate binder. It is found that the Si@LTO composites can be combined with graphite to improve battery performance further. The composite electrodes have been tested in half cells at C/10 and 1C rates. The best Si@LTO and graphite composite has an initial high capacity (∼900 mAh g−1 at C/10 and ∼600 mAh g−1 at 1C) and good capacity retention. It is found that this capacity retention is superior to Si@LTO alone and a binary composite of silicon with graphite. These Si@LTO + graphite composites are a promising way to integrate silicon into the development of stable and high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.

Recently, silicon-based anode materials have garnered significant attention from researchers due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, these materials are highly prone to volume expansion, which significantly hinders their further commercialization. Here, the skeleton of silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) is constructed from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in order to buffer their volume increase and enhance electrochemical performance. In this study, a solvent-thermal reaction is conducted using a mixture of NiFe-MIL and sodium hydroxide solution to deposit a carbon layer around the Si NPs, while simultaneously creating a highly conductive graphene network. Si materials supported by inward multi-channel carbon were synthesized through high-temperature pyrolysis. This unique double-layer carbon structure endows the material with remarkable electrochemical properties, including enhanced cycle stability and lithium storage capacity. The Si@C–NiFe-MIL@reduced graphene oxide (Si@C–NiFe-MIL@rGO) electrode materials exhibit a high specific capacity of 2092.8 mA h g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1. Furthermore, they demonstrate a stable reversible capacity of 851 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g−1. This research may provide a different strategy for producing high-energy, reasonably priced silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

To obtain fundamental information on the dissolution of cobalt into alumina-saturated MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 slags in the smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries, the equilibrium distribution of cobalt between Co-Cu alloys and alumina-saturated MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 slags was measured at 1573 K and 1623 K under a controlled CO-CO 2 atmosphere. The results show that (i) the solubility of cobalt in the slag increased with increasing concentration of cobalt in the alloy and increasing oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere at a fixed concentration of cobalt in the alloy, and (ii) the activity coefficient of CoO in the slag increased with increasing cobalt oxide in the slag. The activity coefficient of CoO in the slag, γ CoO, referred to as solid CoO, can be described as a function of the concentration of CoO in slag as follows: γ CoO = 11.2957(wt pct CoO in slag) + 12.0944 (1573 K, (wt pct MnO)/(wt pct SiO 2 )= 0.76–0.83); γ CoO = 2.2286(wt pct CoO in slag) + 4.5232 (1623 K, (wt pct MnO)/(wt pct SiO 2 )= 0.78–0.85).

Carbon composite fibers with Fe3O4, Fe3C, and TiO2 nanoparticles (Fe3O4/Fe3C/TiO2/C) were successfully fabricated using a facile dry-spinning approach, followed by annealing under argon flux. When used as the anode material of a lithium-ion battery, the Fe3O4/Fe3C/TiO2/C composite fibers achieved a reversible capacity of 702.1 mA h g−1 after 400 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and ca. 200 mA h g−1 at a current density of 1000 mA g−1 in 350 cycles. The superior cycling performance and high rate capability were attributed to the high theoretical specific capacity of Fe3O4, the catalytic activity of Fe3C, the structural stability of TiO2, and the buffer function of carbon fiber. Compared with the corresponding Fe3O4/Fe3C/C and TiO2/C composite fibers, the Fe3O4/Fe3C/TiO2/C product exhibited higher cycling and rate performances due to the synergetic effect among the Fe3O4, Fe3C, TiO2 and carbon components.

As high-capacity anode materials, spinel NiFe2O4aroused extensive attention due to its natural abundance and safe working voltage. For widespread commercialization, some drawbacks, such as rapid capacity fading and poor reversibility due to large volume variation and inferior conductivity, urgently require amelioration. In this work, NiFe2O4/NiO composites with a dual-network structure were fabricated by a simple dealloying method. Benefiting from the dual-network structure and composed of nanosheet networks and ligament-pore networks, this material provides sufficient space for volume expansion and is able to boost the rapid transfer of electrons and Li ions. As a result, the material exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, retaining 756.9 mAh g−1at 200 mA g−1after cycling for 100 cycles and retaining 641.1 mAh g−1after 1000 cycles at 500 mA g−1. This work provides a facile way to prepare a novel dual-network structured spinel oxide material, which can promote the development of oxide anodes and also dealloying techniques in broad fields.Keywords:NiFe2O4;dealloying;porous;lithium-ion batteries

The eventual fading and scrapping of lithium (Li)-ion batteries will result in the formation of a huge urban mine of spent batteries. Hydrometallurgy and further extraction/separation are effective ways in which to recover the valuable metal ions from such batteries. Herein, extraction and recovery of spent lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) battery leach liquors using Cyphos IL-101 is proposed. Based on the optimization of extraction conditions, continuous circulating extraction, and thermodynamic analysis, Cyphos IL-101 effectively extracted cobalt (Co) ions with excellent stability and high extraction capacity (35.25 g/L). The separation factor of Co and Li (β Co/Li ) was 102.11 in 0.5 M HCl at 60 °C under the optimal operation condition. Moreover, an increase in temperature increased Co extraction in the spent Li-ion battery leach liquors. The extractants before and after use were characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectra , Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The extraction mechanism of cobalt ions by Cyphos IL-101 was suggested as that cobalt transferred to the organic phase from the aqueous phase in the form of [CoCl 4 ] 2− . 90.5% of Co and 86.2% of Li were recovered by precipitation after extraction separation in the forms of cobalt oxalate and lithium carbonate with the purity 87.4% and 74.2%. This suggested method might provide a promising strategy for recycling spent lithium cobalt oxide batteries.

The escalating disposal of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) poses significant environmental challenges but also offers substantial opportunities for resource recovery. In this work, we introduce a recycling strategy using a green, cost-effective ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of guanidine hydrochloride, ethylene glycol, and maleic acid. The DES can achieve >99.5 % leach efficiency of lithium (Li) and cobalt (Co) at 100 °C, 9h, and L/S=50. The kinetic study found that the chemical reaction rate at the interface was the key to controlling the leaching process. The study of leaching mechanisms found that the acidity and coordination ability of DES were the main driving forces of leaching. Co loaded in the DES phase can almost precipitate out by using oxalic acid, achieving the separation of Li and Co. After reusing three times, the maximum load of Li in the DES phase reached 4.1 mg/g. These outstanding performances, along with the avoidance of the use of hazardous chemicals and the reduction of high costs, confirmed that the DES possesses a promising prospect for sustainable, large-scale application in efficiently leaching valuable metals from LiCoO 2 .

Fast-charging, non-aqueous lithium-based batteries are desired for practical applications. In this regard, LiMn 2 O 4 is considered an appealing positive electrode active material because of its favourable ionic diffusivity due to the presence of three-dimensional Li-ion diffusion channels. However, LiMn 2 O 4 exhibits inadequate rate capabilities and rapid structural degradation at high currents. To circumvent these issues, here we introduce quintuple low-valence cations to increase the entropy of LiMn 2 O 4 . As a result, the entropy-increased LiMn 2 O 4 -based material, i.e., LiMn 1.9 Cu 0.02 Mg 0.02 Fe 0.02 Zn 0.02 Ni 0.02 O 4 , when tested in non-aqueous lithium metal coin cell configuration, enable 1000 cell cycles at 1.48 A g −1 (corresponding to a cell charging time of 4 minutes) and 25°C with a discharge capacity retention of about 80%. We demonstrate that the increased entropy in LiMn 2 O 4 leads to an increase in the disordering of dopant cations and a contracted local structure, where the enlarged LiO 4 space and enhanced Mn-O covalency improve the Li-ion transport and stabilize the diffusion channels. We also prove that stress caused by cycling at a high cell state of charge is relieved through elastic deformation via a solid-solution transition, thus avoiding structural degradation upon prolonged cycling.

Development of an active filler with a large specific surface area, fast ion conductivity phase, special shape, and high electrochemical stability is a critical issue for prominent performance composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) in solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Here, we report large specific surface area and coral-like cubic Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) that was synthesized via a metal–organic framework (MOF) at a low calcination temperature (1000 °C). As active fillers, the coral-like cubic LLZO and lithium oxalyldifluroborate (LiODFB) uniformly distributed in a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) matrix provide an interconnected Li-ion transport channel in CSE, which manifests outstanding properties such as a favorable electrochemical stability window (of 4.85 V vs Li/Li+), high ionic conductivity (1.65 × 10–4 S cm–1, 20 °C), and superior interface compatibility with lithium metal. The assembled LiFePO4/CSE/Li and LiCoO2/CSE/Li cells convey predominate performance and initial specific capacities of 135.0 and 135.9 mA h g–1 at 0.5 C, with capacity retention values of 83.51% after 500 cycles and 93.90% after 200 cycles. The coral-like LLZO with a large specific area reduces polymer crystallinity and provides a large phase interface in CSE through interaction of LLZO with LiODFB and PVDF-HFP. The results suggest that coral-like LLZO prepared by MOFs is a promising filler in CSEs for solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
