Sustainable closed-loop recycling of spent graphite anodes via pre-oxidation and carbon coating

To achieve high-value recovery of graphite anodes from spent lithium-ion batteries, conventional hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical routes face environmental and economic bottlenecks, including complex wastewater treatment, high energy consumption and equipment corrosion. T...

Vacuum‐Assisted Impurities Removing Triggered Electronic Configuration Reconstruction of Spent NCM for Ultrafast Lithium Storage

ABSTRACT Attracted by ∼100% element recovery rate, direct regeneration of spent NCM (SNCM) has been deemed as next‐generation recycling strategy. However, practical SNCM is always mixed with inactive impurities (PVDF and conductive carbon), which introduces undesirable heteroatom...
