Abstract
This paper explores the direct regeneration of degraded LiFePO4 cathodes from spent lithium-ion batteries using a multifunctional organic lithium salt (3,4-dihydroxybenzonitrile dilithium, Li2DHBN). The Li2DHBN effectively restores the degraded LiFePO4 by compensating for lithium loss, creating a reductive atmosphere to inhibit Fe(III) formation, and generating a conductive carbon coating to improve electron and ion transfer. The restored cathode exhibits excellent cycling stability and rate performance. Techno-economic analysis suggests this method is superior to traditional recycling methods.
