Industrial Recycling Process of Batteries for EVs

The growing number of decarbonization standards in the transportation sector has resulted in an increase in demand for electric cars.Renewable energy sources have the ability to bring the fossil fuel age to an end.Electrochemical storage devices,particularly lithium-ion batteries,are critical for this transition’s success.This is owing to a combination of favorable characteristics such as high energy density and minimal self-discharge.Given the environmental degradation caused by hazardous wastes and the scarcity of some resources,recycling used lithium-ion batteries has significant economic and practical importance.Many efforts have been undertaken in recent years to recover cathode materials(such as high-value metals like cobalt,nickel,and lithium).Regrettably,the regeneration of lower-value-added anode materials(mostly graphite)has received little attention.However,given the widespread use of carbon-based materials and the higher concentration of lithium in the anode than in the environment,anode recycling has gotten a lot of attention.As a result,this article provides the most recent research progress in the recovery of graphite anode materials from spent lithium ion batteries,analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of various recovery routes such as direct physical recovery,heat treatment recovery,hydrometallurgy recovery,heat treatment-hydrometallurgy recovery,extraction,and electrochemical methods from the perspectives of energy,environment,and economy;additionally,the reuse of recycled anode mats is discussed.Finally,the problems and future possibilities of anode recycling are discussed.To enable the green recycling of wasted lithium ion batteries,a low energy-consuming and ecologically friendly solution should be investigated.

Full recycling of spent lithium ion batteries with production of core-shell nanowires//exfoliated graphite asymmetric supercapacitor

A novel process is reported which produces an asymmetric supercapacitor through the complete recycling of end-of-life lithium ion batteries.The electrodic powder recovered by industrial scale mechanical treatment of spent batteries was leached and the dissolved metals were precipitated as mixed metals carbonates.Nanowires battery-type positive electrodes were produced by electrodeposition into nanoporous alumina templates from the electrolytic baths prepared by dissolution of the precipitated carbonates.The impact of the different metals contained in the electrodic powder was evaluated by benchmarking the electrochemical performances of the recovered nanowires-based electrodes against electrodes produced by using high-purity salts.Presence of inactive Cu in the nanowires lowered the final capacitance of the electrodes while Ni showed a synergistic effect with cobalt providing a higher capacitance with respect to synthetic Co electrodes.The carbonaceous solid recovered after leaching was indepth characterized and tested as negative electrode.Both the chemical and electrochemical characterization indicate that the recovered graphite is characterized by the presence of oxygen functionalities introduced by the leaching treatment.This has led to the obtainment of a recovered graphite characterized by an XPS C/O ratio,Raman spectrum and morphology close to literature reports for reduced graphene oxide.The asymmetric supercapacitor assembled using the recovered nanowires-based positive electrodes and graphite as negative electrodes has shown a specific capacitance of 42 F g^(-1), computed including the whole weight of the positive electrode and recovered graphite,providing a maximum energy density of ~9 Wh kg^(-1) and a power density of 416 W kg^(-1) at 2.5 mA cm^(-2).

Preparation of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene with recycled process of isomers

2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene（2,6-DIPN）,as the precursor of important monomer 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid,was prepared by hydroisopropylation of refined naphthalene with propene over shape-selective catalyst.Naphthalene conversion of 92% and 2,6-DIPN selectivity of 64% were obtained.Static melt crystallization was applied to separate and purify 2,6-DIPN from its isomers,resulted in a product purity of≥99%.The other isomers were converted into monoisopropylnaphthalene,which also reacted with propene to form 2,6-DIPN.A recycled process including hydroisopropylation,separation and transalkylation was established,the yield of 2,6-DIPN based on naphthalene could be doubled by one cycle operation.

Crystallinity of FRCM/GPM with High PB through Microbial Growth

Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) requires a process of grinding, mixing and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams into a polymer matrix that creates a high-strength fiber composite. In this situation, the specified waste or base raw materials used are the waste thermoplastics and different types of cellulosic waste including rice husk and saw dust. FRC is a high-performance fiber composite achieved and made possible through a proprietary molecular re-engineering process by interlinking cellulosic fiber molecules with resins in the FRC material matrix, resulting in a product of exceptional structural properties. In this feat of molecular re-engineering, selected physical and structural properties of wood are effectively cloned and obtained in the FRC component, in addition to other essential qualities in order to produce superior performance properties to conventional wood. The dynamic characteristics of composite structures are largely extracted from the reinforcing of fibres. The fiber, held in place by the matrix resin, contributes to tensile strength in a composite, enhancing the performance properties in the final part, such as strength and rigidity, while minimizing weight. The advantages of composite materials always beat down their disadvantages. In this analysis, we tried to find out FRC advance manufacturing, recycling technology and future perspective for mankind and next generation development. This research will bring a new horizon for future science with FRC technology and every aspect of modern science which will bring a stable dimensional stability by recycling process with minimizing waste for environment and next generation science.

Photocatalyst-controlled and visible light-enabled selective oxidation of pyridinium salts

This study proposes two different methods of photocatalytic-controlled and visible light-induced selective oxidation of pyridiniums with air as the terminal oxidant.The key to these transformations is to choose the appropriate light source and photocatalyst.Pyridiniums are successfully converted into pyrroles through oxygen-mediated cycloaddition,proton-coupled electron transfer(PCET),pyridine ring opening,and recyclization.The other route is that pyridiniums selectively form 4-carbonyl pyridines through free radical rearrangement/aerobic oxidation under the catalysis of cobalt(Ⅱ).
