Title: Fundamental Research on Green and Efficiency Recovery and Regeneration of Lithium Iron Phosphate Cathode Materials
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the energy storage battery market due to their specific energy density to support the vehicle electrification and large-scale harvesting of renewable power. However, there is no efficient recycling method available. Thus, the large amount of spent LIBs will cause potential hazardous impact to the environment as well as significant loss of high-valuable resources, and therefore promote the development of LIBs chemistry and techniques on recycling spent LIBs. In this project, novel process for the recycling of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, or LFP) electrode materials from spent power battery is targeted. Based on the accumulation of scientific research achieved, this Sino-German project will combine the advantage of extraction techniques, advanced molecular and synthetic chemistry from the German side and the expertise of hydrometallurgy from the Chinese side.
