Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of recovery of wasted lithium ion batteries, and particularly provides a method of recycling metals from wasted lithium ion batteries. The method includes the following steps: 1) recycling a cathode waste material of the lithium ion batteries, and processing the cathode waste material into electrode sheets; 2) with the electrode sheets as a cathode and an inert electrode as a counter electrode, performing an electrochemical reaction in an acidic electrolyte to leach-out metals, thus forming a solution containing metal ions; 3) regulating the pH of the solution to 9-10, fully stirring the solution, performing centrifugation to obtain a supernatant, adding 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid to the supernatant, and performing a hydrothermal reaction at 100-160 DEG C for 5-12 h to form a metal organic composite material, wherein the metal is Ni and/or Co. Through the electrochemical method, metals in the cathode is leached out, wherein completeness of leaching is guaranteed; meanwhile, the leached metals are coordinated with organic substances to form a new lithium ion battery cathode or a positive pole of a super-capacitor. The method develops a new application direction of valuable metals in wasted cathodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recycling waste lithium batteries, in particular to a method for recycling metals from waste lithium ion batteries. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the increasingly prominent problems of environmental pollution and energy crisis, new energy vehicles and power batteries have developed by leaps and bounds. Power batteries include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride power batteries and lithium-ion power batteries, which have high energy density and cycle characteristics. Lithium-ion power batteries are known as the best development direction of power batteries in the future. With the continuous upgrading of electronic and electrical products and the continuous increase in the production and sales of new energy vehicles, the number of waste lithium batteries will increase sharply. Batteries contain a large amount of metal lithium and cobalt. Since lithium is a rare metal and cobalt...
