“…In this context, Amarasekara et al reported innovative approaches to enhance the value of biomass-derived compounds through conversion by recycled catalysts from spent LIBs [30][31][32]. The recycling of LIBs for reuse as catalysts involved a discharging and mechanical dismantling process (Figure 2a).…”

“…Interfering organic residues, e.g., binders, were removed by pyrolyzing the cathode and anode black material at 600 • C. After grinding and sieving, the resulting powder of LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 /C was used as a catalyst (Figure 2b). The authors demonstrated the practicability of this catalyst for the transformation of different biomass-derived substrates, namely the oxidation of cellulose-derived furans to their corresponding carboxylic acids [30], the oxidation of D-glucose to glycolic acid [31], and the decarboxylative dimerization of levulinic acid [32]. For example, the oxidation of furans, including furan-2-aldehyde, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, and 5,5 ′ -[oxybis(methylene)]bis [2-furaldehyde], achieved moderate-to-high yields ranging from 82% to 97% depending on the substrate used.…”

The recycling of catalysts has emerged as a key solution to address environmental pollution and the scarcity of natural resources. This dynamic is further reinforced by the growing industrial demand for catalysts and the urgent need to transition to more sustainable production methods. In the context of chemical transformations, the direct reuse of recycled catalysts for chemical applications in particular represents an elegant route towards greener syntheses. In this article, we review recent advancements in the recycling of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts since 2020, emphasizing the utilization of waste-derived catalysts for chemical reactions. In particular, we consider three primary sources of waste: electronic waste, spent lithium-ion batteries, and industrial wastewater. For each of these waste streams, different extraction methods are explored for their effectiveness in obtaining catalysts suitable for a broad spectrum of chemical reactions. These presented studies emphasize the potential of recycled catalysts to contribute to a sustainable and waste-efficient future.

“…We have been studying the catalytic activities of the lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide with the general formula Li a Ni b Mn c Co d O e derived from spent Li-ion battery waste for oxidation of sugars as well as biomass-derived furans for producing value-added products such as glycolic acid in recent years [33,34]. In addition, we have reported the use of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide as a catalyst for decarboxylative dimerization of levulinic acid in upgrading this biomass-derived carboxylic acid [35].…”

Extensive use of Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles, electronics, and other energy storage applications has resulted in a need to recycle valuable metals Li, Mn, Ni, and Co in these devices. In this work, an aqueous mixture of glycolic and lactic acid is shown as an excellent leaching agent to recover these critical metals from spent Li-ion laptop batteries combined with cathode and anode coatings without adding hydrogen peroxide or other reducing agents. An aqueous acid mixture of 0.15 M in glycolic and 0.35 M in lactic acid showed the highest leaching efficiencies of 100, 100, 100, and 89% for Li, Ni, Mn, and Co, respectively, in an experiment at 120 °C for 6 h. Subsequently, the chelate solution was evaporated to give a mixed metal-hydroxy acid chelate gel. Pyrolysis of the dried chelate gel at 800 °C for 15 h could be used to burn off hydroxy acids, regenerating lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, and the novel method presented to avoid the precipitation of metals as hydroxide or carbonates. The Li, Ni, Mn, and Co ratio of regenerated lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide is comparable to this metal ratio in pyrolyzed electrode coating and showed similar powder X-ray diffractograms, suggesting the suitability of α-hydroxy carboxylic acid mixtures as leaching agents and ligands in regeneration of mixed metal oxide via pyrolysis of the dried chelate gel.

The generation of e‐waste from lithium ion batteries (LIBs) is rapidly increasing due to the rising utilization of LIBs in portable electronics, and electric vehicles, with an average life span of 3‐5 years. The disposal of spent LIBs is a major environmental concern due to the presence of high percentages of toxic heavy metals and corrosive electrolytes. Efficient and sustainable recycling of spent LIBs has become immensely important, both environmentally and from a circular economy perspective, as LIBs serve as secondary sources of critical metals needed for renewable energy conversion and storage systems. We provide a concise review of metal recovery from spent LIBs using waste biomass in a green and sustainable approach for resource generation, in addition to the valorization of waste biomass. Biomass is used to recover metals from spent LIBs, acting as lixivient, reductant, and as absorbent. We have also discussed a reverse strategy utilizing ‘black mass’ from spent LIBs as catalyst for biomass conversion to value‐added products. The concept of “circular economy” is highlighted in a “killing two birds with one stone” approach through the utilization of biomass for the recovery of metals from spent LIBs and vice versa.
