[0002] Solid-state electrolyte is a core component of solid-state lithium ion battery, wherein sulfide electrolyte is concerned by people in the industry due to its excellent conductivity, high energy density and long cycle life, and is considered to be the most potential one among solid-state electrolytes. Lithium sulfide is a core material for synthesizing sulfide electrolyte. At present, the main preparation methods of lithium sulfide include mechanical ball milling, high-temperature reduction and solvent method. Waste is inevitably generated in the production process of lithium sulfide. Therefore, the recycling technology of lithium sulfide waste is particularly important.

Based on the wide application of lithium amide, many enterprises have built corresponding production lines.
