Title: Recycling positive-electrode material of a lithium-ion battery

Abstract

Examples are disclosed of methods to recycle positive-electrode material of a lithium-ion battery. In one example, the positive-electrode material is heated under pressure in a concentrated lithium hydroxide solution. After heating, the positive-electrode material is separated from the concentrated lithium hydroxide solution. After separating, the positive electrode material is rinsed in a basic liquid. After rinsing, the positive-electrode material is dried and sintered.

High valent lithiated surface structures for lithium ion battery electrode materials

Patent Croy, Jason; Balasubramanian, Mahalingam; Park, Joong Sun

The surface of a lithium ion cathode material (e.g., a lithium metal oxide material capable of releasing and accepting lithium ions during charging and discharging, respectively, of a lithium ion electrochemical cell) is coated with a lithium metal oxide (LMO) material comprising a high-valent metal to, inter alia, reduce interfacial resistance toward lithium exchange. Li-rich phases on the surface of the treated LMO particles allow for better lithium ion diffusion. The inclusion of elements that form phases with lithium and can substitute in the host structure allow for mixing across interfaces leading to more robust structures that better mimic epitaxial-typemore » « less

Recovery of materials from electrode scraps and spent lithium-ion batteries via a green solvent-based separation process

Patent Belharouak, Ilias; Bai, Yaocai; Essehli, Rachid

A method for recycling lithium-ion battery materials is provided. The method includes isolating a composite electrode comprising an electrode material adhered to a current collector with a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binder. The composite electrode is combined with triethyl phosphate (TEP) as a solvent to form a mixture. The electrode material is delaminated from the current collector in the mixture to give a free electrode material and a free current collector. Each of the free electrode material and the free current collector is recovered from the mixture. The free electrode material may be reused to prepare another composite electrode, as wellmore » « less
