A sustainable delamination approach for simultaneous separation and leaching of cathodes from end-of-life Li ion batteries by Pietro Cattaneo, Daniele Callegari, Fiorenza D'Aprile, Eliana Quartarone

“…Current methods involve shredding batteries into a black mass, further processed via pyrometallurgy (energy-intensive) and/or hydrometallurgy with inorganic acids (environmentally hazardous) to recover CRMs. A more refined approach to LIBs recycling includes the dismantling and the sorting of their components, allowing for a targeted extraction.The spent cathodes recycling process here presented involves the simultaneous delamination from the current collector and the leaching (>95 %) of the cathode active material (CAM) in a citric acid solution, enabling also the recovery of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and Carbon filler as unleached residues, which can be used as a composite binder for new electrodes manufacturing. …”
