Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of waste graphite regeneration, and particularly relates to repairing waste graphite into fast-filling graphite material. Background Art

[0002] Graphite, due to its unique thermal and electrical properties, has a wide range of applications in numerous fields. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, waste graphite production has been increasing year by year. Recycling and refining waste graphite is crucial for the green and high-quality development of the graphite industry. However, graphite mineral resources are scarce, and artificial graphite synthesis requires high energy consumption. Therefore, regenerating graphite materials from waste graphite is an effective method.

[0003] Industries that can produce waste graphite mainly include waste batteries, waste photovoltaics and other industries; existing technologies mainly regenerate graphite from waste batteries, and the main means of regeneration are impurity removal and carbon coating.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN118198570A discloses a high-rate recycled graphite negative electrode material, its preparation method, and application. It specifically describes that the graphite material of waste batteries is disassembled and peeled, then calcined and purified under medium-high temperature conditions, and then compounded with modified phenolic resin and non-ionic surfactant for carbon coating treatment.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent publication CN115275416A discloses a method for recovering graphite from waste lithium-ion batteries and a high-capacity, fast-charging negative electrode material. The document specifically describes a process for recovering waste graphite by particle size and interlayer separation. Chinese patent publication CN107959077A discloses a method for preparing a high-rate, high-safety nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide ternary material. The document specifically describes processes for pre-treating, impurity removal, heat treatment, and refinement of the waste graphite.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology mainly focuses on the recycling and regeneration of waste battery graphite materials, and the process universality is not ideal. In addition, the existing recycled materials are difficult to achieve fast charging application requirements with a rate of more than 6C. Summary of the Invention
