    Abstract: A regenerated cathode active material comprises a core material comprising lithium and a transition metal oxide, the core material having a surface, wherein the core material is a recycled cathode active material that has been re-lithiated. At least two different lithium-ion conducting species are on the surface of the core material, and the at least two different lithium-ion conducting species are selected from AlF3, Li3PO4, and a lithium metal oxide. Another regenerated cathode active material for use in a lithium-ion battery comprises a core material comprising a transition metal oxide and lithium, the core material having a surface, and multiple lithium-ion conducting species on the surface, wherein the core material is a recycled cathode active material that has been re-lithiated.

    Abstract: Methods for the rapid synthesis of catalyst are provided, as well as catalyst formed from such methods. One method of the rapid synthesis of catalyst comprises forming a homogenous solution comprising a precious metal precursor and a catalyst substrate, reducing the precious metal precursor to precious metal nanoparticles, and depositing the precious metal nanoparticles onto the catalyst substrate to form catalyst particles. The reducing and depositing steps comprise controlling a rate of increase in temperature of the solution with microwave irradiation until the solution is a predetermined temperature and maintaining the solution at the predetermined temperature with microwave irradiation. The method further comprises detecting completion of the reduction and deposition and ceasing microwave irradiation upon detection.
