With
the development of society and increased demand for clean
energy, as an efficient energy storage device, lithium-ion batteries
are widely used in various fields. As they fail, a large number of
waste lithium-ion batteries will be produced. If not handled properly,
it will not only cause the loss of nonferrous metals but also cause
serious environmental pollution. This article proposes a new concept
of using waste lithium-ion battery material to directly reuse it for
the next generation of secondary batteries. It is a new strategy to
prepare a dual-function regeneration material by direct regeneration
technology, which is not limited to the traditional idea of valuable
metal recovery, and solve the problem of raw material source and waste
recycling of the new battery system. Waste lithium cobaltite cathode
powder was used to supplement the metal ions Li+, Mg2+, and Ce4+ for heat treatment. The demand of direct
regeneration and synergistic modification was achieved in a green
and efficient way. The discharge capacity of the material is 226.346
mAh/g at 4.6 V. In this study, the dual-function regeneration strategy
is expected to accelerate the industrialization process of waste lithium-ion
batteries.
