Direct lithium extraction from spent batteries for efficient lithium recycling
[ The traditional hydrometallurgical method for recycling metals from spent lithium-ion battery cathode materials involves complex processes such as metal leaching, precipitation, separation, and purification. An improved recycling approach involves directly chemically extracting active lithium from lithium-graphite anodes at room temperature.
