Battery Cathode Materials There is a growing demand of lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, which would eventually generate a huge number of spent lithium-ion batteries. Thus, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable recycling technologies need to be developed to recover valuable metals contained in spent lithium-ion batteries, especially from cathodes. However, current procedures reportedly use toxic organic solvents to separate the active cathode materials from the aluminum foil. In this study, we report on the water-based delaminating procedure of NCM cathode materials from spent lithium ion batteries and materials properties of delaminated NCM for direct recycling. More details will be discussed at the meeting.
