It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0018] In response to the problems of high energy consumption and complex processes in existing recycling methods for waste batteries and supercapacitor negative electrode materials, this application proposes a high-value battery negative electrode regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste. This high-value battery negative electrode regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste utilizes waste from multiple sources such as biomass, plastics, waste batteries and supercapacitor negative electrode materials, and converts these materials into high-performance electrode materials through a comprehensive process.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is now further described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0020] Embodiment 1: See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 1 A structural block diagram of a battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided in Example 1 of the present application; Figure 2 A specific process flow chart of a battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided in Example 1 of the present application; wherein, the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided by the present invention comprises a power generation module, a heat storage module, a reaction module and a burner, the heat storage module is connected to the power generation module, the reaction module is connected to the heat storage module, and the burner is connected to the reaction module; Among them, the heat storage module is used to efficiently store the heat and electricity generated by the power generation module; then the above-mentioned battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste uses electric energy to drive low-temperature pyrolysis of multi-organic solid waste to generate a carbon-based negative electrode material precursor. Subsequently, by mixing the carbon-based negative electrode material precursor and the waste negative electrode material, the reaction module further adopts the flash Joule heat treatment technology to achieve high-value regeneration of waste materials, thereby effectively improving the recycling rate of resources and reducing environmental pressure. In addition, the above-mentioned battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste also burns and recovers the volatile gas generated by the reaction module through a burner to achieve efficient recycling of energy. In embodiment 1 of the present invention, the power generation module includes a solar thermal unit and a photovoltaic power generation unit, and the solar thermal unit is used to transfer heat energy to the heat storage module or to directly heat the multi-organic solid waste; the photovoltaic power generation unit is used to store electric energy in the heat storage module or directly drive the reaction module, thereby providing diversified energy support and flexible energy distribution methods for the entire battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste.
[0021] In Example 1 of the present invention, the heat storage and energy storage module stores heat and electric energy from the power generation module to provide energy for the reaction module. The heat storage and energy storage module contains phase change materials, which can efficiently store and release heat energy within different temperature ranges, and support long-term continuous operation. At the same time, the power reserve of the power generation module is used to continuously power the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit in the reaction module and provide instantaneous large current pulses for the flash Joule heat reaction unit, so as to ensure that various reactions in the reaction module can be accurately and smoothly promoted, so that the operation of the entire battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste is more reliable, efficient and stable.
[0022] In Example 1 of the present invention, the reaction module includes a low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit, which is respectively connected to the burner and the heat storage module. The electric energy provided by the heat storage module is used to perform a low-temperature pyrolysis reaction on the biomass-plastic in a relatively low temperature and high pressure environment to generate a carbon-based negative electrode material precursor, and the carbon-based negative electrode material precursor includes a graphite / graphene precursor.
[0023] The reaction temperature range set by the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit is between 350℃ and 500℃, while the reaction pressure is controlled within the range of 1MPa to 15MPa. Such reaction condition settings help to accurately control the pyrolysis process of biomass-plastics, prompting them to be converted into the target product-carbon-based negative electrode material precursor in the expected direction, laying a solid foundation for the further processing and regeneration of waste negative electrode materials, and ensuring the smooth advancement and efficient implementation of the entire multi-source material battery negative electrode regeneration process.
[0024] Specifically, the multi-organic solid waste includes biomass and plastics, wherein the biomass includes at least one of corn stalks, nut shells, coconut shells, grapefruit peels and bamboo, etc.; the plastic includes at least one of polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene and polyethylene, etc. Such a diverse composition of raw materials, on the one hand, makes full use of various common and relatively widely available biomass resources, which are often residues or wastes in agricultural production, daily life and other processes. Using them can achieve resource recycling and reduce waste; on the other hand, the selection of commonly used plastics such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene is also based on the fact that they have a high amount of waste in life and the demand for recycling is more urgent. At the same time, they can synergize with biomass in subsequent low-temperature pyrolysis and other treatment processes to be converted into carbon-based negative electrode material precursors, thereby providing a suitable raw material basis for the regeneration of battery negative electrode materials, and promoting the entire battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste to better achieve the goals of waste resource recycling and green sustainable development.
[0025] In Example 1 of the present invention, the reaction module further comprises a flash Joule heat reaction unit, which comprises a flash Joule heat reactor, an atmosphere control box and an infrared temperature sensor. The flash Joule heat reaction unit is suitable for processing waste graphite / graphene and carbon-based negative electrode material precursors to achieve rapid pyrolysis, recombination and regeneration of materials. Among them, the flash Joule heat reactor is used to perform flash Joule heat treatment on the waste negative electrode material according to the instantaneous large current pulse provided by the heat storage module; the atmosphere control box is used to provide a vacuum or inert gas environment for the flash Joule heat reactor; the infrared temperature sensor is used to detect the working temperature of the flash Joule heat reactor.
[0026] Specifically, the core function of the flash Joule thermal reactor is to perform flash Joule thermal treatment on the waste negative electrode materials based on the instantaneous large current pulses provided by the heat storage and energy storage module. This treatment method based on large current pulses can cause a violent thermal effect inside the waste negative electrode materials in a very short time, thereby inducing rapid pyrolysis and recombination reactions. The atmosphere control box is responsible for creating a vacuum or inert gas environment for the flash Joule thermal reactor. Such an environmental setting is crucial to avoid unnecessary chemical reactions such as oxidation of materials during high-temperature treatment, and can effectively ensure the purity and quality of material processing. The function of the infrared temperature sensor is to accurately detect the operating temperature of the flash Joule thermal reactor. By real-time monitoring of temperature data, it is convenient to accurately control the entire flash Joule thermal reaction process to ensure that the reaction is carried out under appropriate temperature conditions.
[0027] Preferably, the pulse current intensity of the instantaneous large current pulse is 1A to 600A, and the reaction time of the high-temperature rapid heating treatment is 0.1ms to 5s, ensuring instantaneous and efficient pyrolysis and recombination of the material.
[0028] From the specific process parameters, the preferred instantaneous high current pulse has a pulse current intensity between 1A and 600A. Under such current intensity, combined with the high temperature rapid heating treatment reaction time of 0.1ms to 5s, it can ensure that the material can achieve instantaneous and efficient pyrolysis and recombination. This short-time, high-intensity treatment mode fully utilizes the advantages of flash Joule heat reaction, allowing waste materials to be quickly converted into substances with recycling value.
[0029] Preferably, the operating temperature range of the flash Joule heat reactor is 200°C to 4000°C, and it is suitable for processing a variety of materials, including but not limited to waste graphite / graphene, carbon-based negative electrode material precursors, etc., and generating recycled graphite / graphene. In such a high-temperature treatment process, these materials can be prompted to undergo complex physical and chemical changes, and finally generate recycled graphite / graphene, which opens up an efficient and feasible way for the recycling of waste battery negative electrode materials, greatly improving the recycling rate of resources and reducing potential harm to the environment.
[0030] Further, the electrical properties of the material (Coulomb efficiency of the first activation cycle and the first cycle discharge capacity at 0.2C / 1C) are used to determine whether the regenerated graphite / graphene meets the commercial standards. Furthermore, both the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit and the flash Joule heat reaction unit are equipped with a multi-stage pyrolysis reaction program, which can realize pyrolysis treatment in stages at multiple temperatures to improve the recovery of intermediate products and energy utilization efficiency.
[0031] In Example 1 of the present invention, the burner is used to burn the volatiles produced in the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit and the flash Joule heat reaction unit, preheat the biomass-plastic to reach the minimum temperature of the pyrolysis reaction, and ensure that the material reaches appropriate pretreatment conditions before entering the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit; wherein the preheating temperature range of the burner is 100°C to 350°C.
[0032] Specifically, by burning these volatiles, a certain amount of heat can be released, and this heat will be used to preheat the multi-organic solid waste. The preheating link is of great significance. Its purpose is to increase the temperature of the multi-organic solid waste to the minimum temperature required for the pyrolysis reaction, thereby ensuring that the material has reached the appropriate pretreatment conditions before entering the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit. This is like making sufficient "warm-up" preparations for the subsequent pyrolysis reaction, which helps the pyrolysis reaction to proceed more smoothly and efficiently, allowing the entire reaction process to proceed in the expected direction and improving the quality and efficiency of the final product.
[0033] It should be particularly pointed out that the preheating temperature of the burner is between 100°C and 350°C. Within this temperature range, it can ensure that the multi-organic solid waste is effectively preheated so that its internal structure and other aspects reach the initial state suitable for pyrolysis, and avoid adverse effects on raw materials due to too high or too low temperature. For example, too high temperature may cause premature decomposition of raw materials or other unnecessary side reactions, and too low temperature cannot achieve a good preheating effect, and the pretreatment conditions required for entering the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit cannot be met.
[0034] In Example 1 of the present invention, the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste also includes an intelligent control module, which is used to coordinate the operation of the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit, the flash Joule heat reaction unit, the heat storage and energy storage module and the power generation module, and to monitor and adjust the temperature, pressure, current, voltage and atmosphere environment of each reaction unit and each module in real time to optimize energy distribution and reaction process efficiency.
[0035] Specifically, the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided in Example 1 of the present invention utilizes three types of waste, namely biomass, plastic and waste battery negative electrode materials, to be converted into high-performance regenerated graphite through a comprehensive process. The specific preparation steps of the above-mentioned regenerated graphite are as follows: Step 1: Convert solar energy into thermal energy through a solar thermal unit, and transfer the thermal energy to an energy storage module or use it to directly heat the multi-organic solid waste; at the same time, convert solar energy into electrical energy through a photovoltaic power generation unit, and store the electrical energy in a thermal storage module or use it directly to drive a reaction module; Step 2: The battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste uses electric energy to drive the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit in the reaction module to perform low-temperature pyrolysis on the multi-organic solid waste to generate a carbon-based graphite precursor. The reaction temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit is 350°C, the reaction pressure is 5MPa, and the mass ratio of biomass to plastic in the multi-organic solid waste is 2:1. Step 3: A mixture is obtained by mixing a carbon-based graphite precursor and waste graphite (the mass ratio of the carbon-based graphite precursor to the waste graphite is 1:4), and the flash Joule heat reaction unit in the reaction module rapidly heats the above mixture at high temperature through an instantaneous high current pulse generated by the electric energy provided by the heat storage module to obtain a regenerated negative electrode material; wherein the instantaneous temperature of the flash Joule heat reactor is 2400°C, the current intensity of the instantaneous high current pulse is 140A, and the reaction time is 1 second; In addition, the above-mentioned battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste also burns the volatile gases generated in the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit and the flash Joule heat reaction unit through a burner, and preheats the multi-organic solid waste in step one to reach the minimum temperature of the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction. The preheating temperature of the burner is 200°C.
[0036] According to calculations, the energy consumption of the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided in Example 1 of the present invention is: the energy consumption for regenerating one ton of graphite is approximately 2100 kWh.

The slurry was coated on the current collector copper foil using an automatic coating machine, placed flat on tempered glass and transferred to a vacuum drying oven at 85°C for 4h. The obtained pole piece was then dried at 105°C in a vacuum drying oven for 4h, placed in a glove box filled with argon atmosphere with a water content and oxygen content of less than 0.1ppm for 4h to reduce the moisture adsorbed by the pole piece during the transfer process, and then assembled into a CR2032 button battery in the glove box. The separator used in this battery is a microporous polypropylene film, the positive electrode of the battery is a hand-punched metal lithium sheet, and the electrolyte is 1mol / L LiPF in a volume ratio of 1:1:1 EC (ethylene carbonate): DMC (dimethyl carbonate): EMC (ethyl methyl carbonate). 6 Electrolyte.

[0060] The Chinese patent publication number CN202410991044.9 provides a battery negative electrode recycling and regeneration method and application. The pyrometallurgical process mentioned therein calcines mixed graphite powder in an air atmosphere at 800-1100°C, and then washes it with deionized water 1-3 times to obtain regenerated graphite. The high-temperature calcination consumes a lot of energy, increasing the recycling cost.
[0061] Chinese patent publication number CN202280022498.4 provides a recycling technology for regenerating graphite anodes from retired batteries using the flash Joule heating (FJH) method, which has the advantages of high regeneration efficiency and low pollution. However, this patent only focuses on the purification of retired graphite materials. And due to the single nature of the reaction equipment, multiple high-power discharges are required when Joule heating is used to recover graphite, which consumes a lot of energy. The tail gas generated after the reaction also lacks effective treatment, and the overall system is not comprehensive enough and has insufficient synergistic effects.
[0062] In contrast, this patent has significantly improved and refined the performance and process flow of recycled graphite / graphene. Specifically, the present invention mixes biomass and plastic in a certain proportion, pyrolyzes them at a low temperature of 350℃ to 500℃ and a high pressure environment to prepare a carbon-based negative electrode material precursor, and then mixes the waste anode materials with them respectively, and treats them using the flash Joule heating method. This innovation improves the electrochemical performance of recycled graphite / graphene. For example, the first-week discharge capacity is 13% higher than that of commercial graphite, and the coulombic efficiency is over 93%. In addition, the electricity used for the system established by this patent is provided by solar thermal and photovoltaic power generation units, and is equipped with energy storage and heat storage units, which improves the sustainability of the system. Through these innovations, this patent has achieved a comprehensive improvement in the overall system in terms of high-value regeneration of solid waste and energy conversion, and has higher practical value and environmental benefits.

The burner's recycling of volatiles and the overall process effectively improve the resource recycling rate, reduce the environmental burden, and have outstanding economic and environmental benefits. In view of the above shortcomings, the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided by the present invention uses multi-organic solid waste as a precursor of carbon-based negative electrode materials, combined with waste battery or supercapacitor negative electrode materials to obtain high-performance regenerated negative electrode materials. The advantages of the above system are the high-performance output of negative electrode materials and the efficient recycling of energy. Its core reaction units include a low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit (350°C to 500°C, 1MPa to 15MPa) and a flash Joule heat unit (200°C to 4000°C, 1A to 600A pulse current, 0.1ms~5s). After the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit pre-treats the blending of multiple waste materials, the high pulse current of the flash Joule heat unit is used to achieve instantaneous high-performance regeneration of negative electrode materials. Compared with conventional high-temperature treatment, this system can not only reduce the energy consumption of the treatment process, but also achieve high-performance regeneration of materials. The waste gas generated during the reaction process of this system is processed by a burner, and the heat generated is used to preheat the solid waste, realizing an efficient preparation process of green circulation, and enhancing the environmental benefits of the entire high-value regeneration system of battery negative electrodes based on multi-source solid waste. The graphite material / graphene material regenerated by this system has higher conductivity, specific surface area and first-cycle discharge capacity, showing excellent coulombic efficiency and cycle stability, meeting the needs of high-performance energy storage applications.
[0064] Furthermore, the battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste provided by the present invention utilizes a power generation module (solar thermal / photovoltaic power generation unit) to convert light energy and heat energy to continuously supply the system operation, and the carbon-based negative electrode material precursor treated by the low-temperature pyrolysis reaction unit is mixed with the waste battery negative electrode material to regenerate into a high-performance negative electrode material. The regenerated graphite material / graphene material has higher conductivity, specific surface area and first-week discharge specific capacity, and can be applied to energy storage scenarios such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, with broad market prospects. With the growth of battery recycling and environmental protection needs, the above-mentioned battery negative electrode high-value regeneration system based on multi-source solid waste has significant economic benefits in reducing production costs and improving the utilization rate of waste resources, and has a positive effect on environmental protection.
[0065] The market prospects of the application technology are broad, and it is mainly used in electric vehicles, grid energy storage, renewable energy systems and other fields with high requirements for electrode material performance. Through the high-value regeneration system of battery negative electrodes based on multi-source solid waste supported by solar thermal / photovoltaic power generation units, the transformation of low-cost materials into high-performance graphite / graphene electrode materials is realized, providing a high-quality and sustainable option for the energy storage market.
