In honor of Professor John B. Goodenough for his 100th birthday, this article tries to find the relationship between discovery cathode materials lithium-ion batteries and interdisciplinary research in career. The original ideas lithium cobalt oxide, manganese LiFePO4 came from early solid state physics strong knowledge chemical structure bonding. Some examples are given demonstrate importance i...

Abstract Recycling of spent lithium (Li)-ion batteries has become a hot research topic due to its surge in the quantity and environmental problems. Herein we demonstrated new chemical configuration choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) recover cobalt from oxide (LiCoO 2 ), representative cathode material for Li-ion battery. It was experimentally verified that leaching efficiency Co...

Presently lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) is the dominant Li-salt used in commercial rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on a graphite anode and a 3–4 V cathode material. While LiPF6 is not the ideal Li-salt for every important electrolyte property, it has a uniquely suitable combination of properties (temperature range, passivation, conductivity, etc.) rendering it the overall ...

By developing technologies, spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered a great source of nickel-cobalt ions to fabricate metal sulfide nanoparticles. However, the presence unnecessary such as manganese and lithium may hamper formation pure nanostructures where utilization proper ligand(s) can be very critical. For this reason, present study initially introduces promising cost-effective a...

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries using Li+-ion conducting ceramic electrolytes have been focused on as attractive future batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy conversion systems because high safety can be realized due to non-flammability of ceramic electrolytes. In addition, a higher volumetric energy density than that of current lithium-ion batteries is expected since the a...

Abstract The recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is currently an important topic in the fields research and industry. New developments for recovery valuable metals from spent LIBs show a clear trend towards hydrometallurgical concepts. In this context, pre-treatment particular plays essential role. If organic compounds remain material or if cathode anode materials are insufficiently separ...
