waste cathode materials

Cathode Active Materials(CAM) can by recycled from spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by using calcination and solvent dissolution methods. The recycled material purity and good morphology play major roles in enhancing the material efficiency. LIBs are recycled by an effective recycling process, and the morphology and structure of the cathode active materials. Both calcination and solvent dissolution processes are used to obtain the purified cathode active materials. EDAX curves and mappings show the presence of Ni, Mn, Co, and O in the cathode active material. The elemental analysis from EDAX shows that the recycled cathode active material from spent LIBs is NMC 532 Li (Ni5Mn3Co2) O2.
