摘要: A method for recycling lithium-ion battery materials is provided. The method includes isolating a composite electrode comprising an electrode material adhered to a current collector with a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binder. The composite electrode is combined with triethyl phosphate (TEP) as a solvent to form a mixture. The electrode material is delaminated from the current collector in the mixture to give a free electrode material and a free current collector. Each of the free electrode material and the free current collector is recovered from the mixture. The free electrode material may be reused to prepare another composite electrode, as well as a lithium-ion battery comprising the same, which are also disclosed.

摘要: A method of making an anti-perovskite solid electrolyte is provided. The method includes: providing an anti-perovskite material that is in the form of a powder; heating a die to a temperature between approximately 200 and 400° C.; loading the anti-perovskite powder into the heated die; compressing the anti-perovskite powder in the heated die; and allowing the heated die to cool to ambient temperature under pressure by maintaining the compression until the die has cooled to ambient temperature. The compression may be performed uniaxially and at a pressure in a range of 1 to 500 MPa. The anti-perovskite may undergo phase transformation, densification, and grain growth during compression at the elevated temperature. An anti-perovskite solid electrolyte formed by the method, and an anti-perovskite solid-state battery including the solid electrolyte are also provided.

摘要: A method for recycling lithium-ion battery materials is provided. The method includes isolating a composite electrode that includes an electrode material adhered to a current collector. The isolated composite electrode is combined with a citrate-based solvent to form a mixture. The electrode material is delaminated from the current collector in the mixture to give a free electrode material and a free current collector. Each of the free electrode material and the free current collector is recovered from the mixture. The free electrode material may be reused to prepare another composite electrode, as well as a lithium-ion battery comprising the same, which are also disclosed.

摘要: An improved method of recycling lithium-ion battery anode scraps is provided. The method involves isolating an anode scrap including a graphite anode film adhered to a current collector foil with a polyvinylidene fluoride binder. The anode scrap is combined with deionized water to form a first mixture. The graphite anode film is delaminated from the current collector foil to form a second mixture comprising a free collector foil and a free graphite anode film. The free graphite anode film is filtered and dried from the second mixture to recover the free graphite anode film. The free graphite anode film is combined with a solvent comprising N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to form an anode formation slurry. The slurry is coated onto a copper current collector to produce a new anode.

摘要: A method of improving interfacial contact at an electrode-to-solid-electrolyte interface in a solid-state battery cell is provided. The method includes providing a solid-state battery cell including a solid-state electrolyte and electrodes defining an anode and a cathode. Each of the anode and cathode are adjacent to the solid-state electrolyte at an interface. The method further includes electrochemically increasing interfacial contact between at least one of the electrodes and the solid-state electrolyte by applying a voltage pulse to the cell at a high current density for a short duration, wherein electrode material diffuses into pores formed in the solid electrolyte interface, thereby healing the pores and eliminating an interfacial space charge effect.
