Lithium Recycling from Spent NCM523 Cathode and Resynthesis of High-Nickel Lithium-Ion Battery Using Recovered Material.

ABSTRACT: Many approaches to recycle lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide (NCM) cathodes from degraded lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been reported, but they remain challenging due to environmental issues such as pollution or toxic waste. In this study, a sustainable and green approach for lithium recovery and reuse via mechanochemical method based on high-energy ball milling is employed to extract lithium from spent NCM without high temperature or toxic solution. The recycling process is as follows: planetary ball milling with spent NCM523 cathodes, lithium extraction as a carbonate through subsequent reaction in deionized water. Then the recovered lithium is used to synthesize a high-nickel NCM cathode material with a freshly prepared NCM precursor. Structural and chemical analyses revealed th
