Surplus energy utilization of spent lithium?ion batteries for high?profit organolithiums

It is challenging to efficiently and economically recycle many lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of the low valuation commodity metals materials, such as LiFePO4. There are millions tons spent LIBs where barrier recycling economical, make more feasible, it required that value processed recycled material exceeds raw materials. The presented research illustrates improved profitability economics for by utilizing surplus energy in lithiated graphite drive preparation organolithiums add lithium This study methodology demonstrates obtained from can be utilized prepare high-value organolithiums, thereby significantly improving economic LIB recycling. Organolithiums (R–O–Li R–Li) were prepared using alkyl alcohol (R–OH) bromide (R–Br) substrates, R includes varying hindered hydrocarbons. extracted per kilogram increase between $29.5 $226.5 kg?1 cell. at least 5.4 times total theoretical over traditional pyrometallurgical ($0.86 cell), hydrometallurgical ($1.00 physical direct methods ($5.40 cell).
