The invention relates to a high-degradation layered
nickel-
cobalt-
manganese positive
electrode material single-
crystallization upgrading
reconstruction method, which comprises the following steps: S1, discharging a waste ternary
lithium ion battery, disassembling and crushing to obtain positive
electrode powder; s2, mixing the obtained positive
electrode powder and the selected
molten salt according to a determined proportion,
grinding by using a
ball mill to ensure that the
molten salt and the recycled
powder are uniformly mixed, then performing a
lithium supplementing process under a high-temperature condition, and meanwhile, effectively removing impurities such as a residual binder and a conductive agent in the positive electrode powder; the
lithium supplement heating condition is that the temperature is raised to 600 DEG C, heat preservation is performed for 2 hours, then heat preservation is performed for 4-6 hours at 910-930 DEG C, the temperature raising speed is 4 DEG C / min, and the gas
atmosphere is air. And S3, the sample after lithium supplementation is completed is subjected to heat treatment in the
oxygen atmosphere,
impurity phase structures possibly existing on the surfaces of particles are repaired, the electrochemical performance of the regenerated material is close to the performance of a commercial battery, meanwhile, due to the unique single-
crystal structure, the
structural stability of the regenerated material is greatly improved. The method can be applied to
recovery of various ternary
lithium ion battery positive electrode materials by simply adjusting the
heating temperature and the heat preservation time, and has very high application value.
