Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery recycling, and in particular to a method for recycling positive electrode materials of light-driven lithium ion batteries. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, with their excellent energy storage performance, are widely used in many fields, including new energy vehicles, smart grids, and portable electronic devices. However, the large amount of toxic electrolytes, heavy metals, and other pollutants generated during the large-scale production and disposal of lithium-ion batteries pose a major threat to the stability of ecosystems and human health and safety. At the same time, the unsustainable mining and disposal of high-value metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel not only causes serious environmental degradation but also leads to a huge waste of resources. Therefore, the recycling and reuse of key metals in lithium-ion batteries is of great significance both in terms of environmental protection and economic development.
[0003] At present, in the field of lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling, the main process is hydrometallurgical process. This process uses acid to provide protons and anions to achieve metal leaching, which has the advantages of mild reaction conditions and high metal recovery rate. Its reaction kinetics is similar to that of high-valent metals (such as Co 3+ ) is closely related to the reduction process of H2O2. In actual operation, it is usually necessary to strategically introduce H2O2 as a reducing agent to effectively accelerate the reaction process. However, this technical system still faces many severe challenges in practical application: First, H2O2 is mainly prepared by the anthraquinone method in industry. This method has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and high pollution, resulting in a significant increase in carbon emissions from the entire battery recycling industry chain; second, high-concentration H2O2 has the risk of combustion and explosion during storage and use, which greatly increases the difficulty of production safety management; third, H2O2 will decompose rapidly in a heated environment and the presence of transition metal ions, causing its effective concentration to decay rapidly. In order to maintain the reaction efficiency, it needs to be continuously replenished, which not only significantly increases the reagent cost, but also makes the process flow control extremely complicated due to frequent operations. In addition, the existing technology also requires continuous heating to improve the reaction kinetics, which further aggravates energy loss and increases production costs.
[0004] In summary, developing a sustainable lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling strategy that combines high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics with industrial application potential has become a key technical issue that needs to be urgently addressed in this field. Summary of the invention
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a light-driven lithium-ion battery cathode material recycling method, which has the advantages of being green and low in energy consumption, and can achieve efficient extraction and recovery of high-value metal elements in the cathode material.
[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery, comprising the following steps: constructing a water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system, dispersing a photocatalyst in the upper oil phase, and dispersing the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery and an acid in the lower water phase; applying light to the water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system in an oxygen or air atmosphere to drive a catalytic reaction, leaching metal ions from the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery, and then recovering the metal ions by a chemical precipitation method.
[0007] In the method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery provided by the present invention, the photocatalyst dispersed in the oil phase generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under light irradiation and diffuses into the water phase. With the assistance of the photo-induced thermal effect, the reduction of high-valent metals in the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery is promoted, such as the reduction of high-valent Co in LiCoO2 3+ ions to Co 2+ ions, and then the lattice of the electrode material is destroyed and dissolved in an acidic environment to achieve the leaching of Li + and Co 2+ leaching.
[0008] The present invention proposes a green method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery, which realizes the efficient recovery of high-value metals such as lithium and cobalt by coupling the photo-catalytic-photo-thermal synergistic effect and the regulation of the oil-water interface. This method uses light energy as the only energy input source, and the photocatalyst in-situ converts oxygen into hydrogen peroxide under light irradiation, synchronously realizing the self-supply of the reducing agent and the self-heating of the reaction system, thereby achieving the efficient leaching of metal ions. Compared with the existing recycling process, the present invention abandons the external heating device and the addition link of the chemical reducing agent, provides a green, low-energy-consuming and low-cost strategy for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries, realizes the maximization of the photo-catalytic efficiency, and can meet the needs of continuous production.

[0053] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this invention belongs. The terms used in the specification of this invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0054] The present invention provides a method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery, comprising the following steps: constructing a water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system, where the photocatalyst is dispersed in the upper oil phase, and the cathode material and acid of the lithium-ion battery are dispersed in the lower water phase; applying light to the water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system in an oxygen or air atmosphere to drive the catalytic reaction, leaching metal ions from the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery, and then recovering the metal ions by chemical precipitation.
[0055] In a specific embodiment, the schematic diagram of the reaction system for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery is as Figure 1 shown. The reaction in the water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system is carried out in a double-layer glass two-phase reactor (the inner layer is made of quartz for light transmission, and the outer layer has a jacket for temperature control). The top is open and connected to a gas inlet, and a magnetic stirrer is arranged at the bottom for stirring. The aqueous phase dispersed with the cathode material and acid of the lithium-ion battery is injected into the bottom of the reactor, and the oil phase dispersed with the photocatalyst is slowly added. The spatial separation is achieved through the density difference and interfacial characteristics of the two phases to form a clear interface. The light source irradiates the oil phase layer through the transparent reactor top cover, acting on the photocatalyst to drive the reaction, exciting the photocatalyst to generate H2O2 and using the photothermal effect to heat the reaction solution to accelerate the reaction. The generated H2O2 diffuses in situ to the aqueous phase, promoting the reduction of high-valent metal ions in the cathode material, thereby accelerating the dissolution and leaching of metal ions from the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery. During the reaction process, samples can be taken regularly to analyze the concentration of metal ions in the aqueous phase, and then the metal ions are recovered by chemical precipitation. In addition, a leachate collector is used to collect the metal ion solution, and the aqueous phase can be replaced.

[0060] Example 1 A method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery uses Figure 1 the reaction system for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery shown in the figure, and specifically includes the following steps: Configuration of the oil phase: Disperse the photocatalyst (30 mg) shown in Structure T1 in n-octanol (15 mL), and ultrasonically disperse for 10 minutes to form a uniformly dispersed suspension.
[0061] Configuration of the water phase: Add LiCoO2 (50 mg) to 0.2 M acetic acid aqueous solution (15 mL), and the oil / water volume ratio (the volume ratio of the oil phase and the water phase) is 1:1.
[0062] Construct a water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system, slowly add the above-mentioned oil phase to the water phase, and spontaneously form a stable oil-water interface. Pass oxygen into the water / oil two-phase photo-driven recycling system, then seal the reactor, irradiate it with a 300 W xenon lamp light source, and at the same time use a Fresnel lens to adjust the light intensity in the range of 500 mW·cm -2 to maintain the water phase temperature at about 80 °C, and metal ions gradually leach out from the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery. After the leaching process is completed, an leaching solution containing Li + and Co 2+ is obtained, and the selective recovery of metals needs to be carried out by the fractional precipitation method. Add 65 mg of oxalic acid to every 50 mL of the leaching solution and stir for 30 minutes. Filter and wash the generated pink precipitate to obtain cobalt oxalate solid and lithium-rich solution. Subsequently, add 10 mL of saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution to the lithium-rich solution, heat it at 95 °C for 2 hours, filter the generated white precipitate and wash it repeatedly with water, and finally obtain lithium carbonate solid.

[0106] and Co Comparative Example 3 A method for recycling the cathode material of a photo-driven lithium-ion battery, comprising the following steps: Preparation of the oil phase: The photocatalyst (30 mg) shown in the T1 structure was dispersed in n-octanol (15 mL), and ultrasonic dispersion was carried out for 10 minutes to form a uniformly dispersed suspension.
[0107] Preparation of the water phase: LiCoO2 (50 mg) was added to 0.2 M aqueous acetic acid solution (15 mL), and the oil / water volume ratio was 1:1.
[0108] Argon was introduced into the system while the reactor was sealed, and irradiation was carried out with a 300 W xenon light source. At the same time, a Fresnel lens was used to adjust the light intensity in the range of 500 mW·cm -2 to maintain the water phase temperature at about 80 °C, and metal ions gradually leached from the cathode material of the lithium-ion battery.
[0109] During the reaction, aqueous phase samples (0.15 mL) were taken every hour and filtered through a 0.22 μm needle filter to remove solid particles (unreacted LiCoO2). After dilution in a certain proportion, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry was used for quantitative detection of the contents of Li + and Co 2+ . The detection results are as Figure 16 shown. Figure 16 The left figure in + shows the variation of the amount of substance of Li 2+ and Co + and Co 2+ that could be leached per gram of photocatalyst on average within 4 hours of light irradiation.

As shown in the right figure in Figure 16 , after 4 hours of light irradiation, the recovery rates (dissolution efficiencies) of Li + and Co 2+ were only 6.9% and 3% respectively.
[0110] Test Example 1 To verify the long-term operation stability of the water / oil two-phase photo-driven recovery system of the present invention, a continuous cycle experiment was carried out. The reaction conditions were the same as those in Example 1. After each 4-hour reaction ended, the lower aqueous phase was taken out, and LiCoO2 (50 mg) and 0.2 M aqueous acetic acid solution (15 mL) were re-added.
[0111] Figure 17These are the experimental results of the cycling stability test. After the water / oil two-phase photocatalytic recovery system ran for 6 cycles (a total of 24 hours of reaction), the dissolution rate of metal ions did not show a significant decline, demonstrating the excellent stability of the water / oil two-phase photocatalytic recovery system. The excellent stability of the water / oil two-phase photocatalytic recovery system is mainly attributed to the following factors: 1. The n-octanol oil phase can act as a hole sacrificial agent, which can not only accelerate the oxygen reduction to produce H2O2, but also effectively inhibit the self-oxidation of the catalyst; 2. The establishment of the two-phase interface enables the in-situ generated H2O2 to migrate rapidly and directionally to the aqueous phase, and then participate in the decomposition reaction of LiCoO2, avoiding the continuous exposure of the photocatalyst to the environment of H2O2 and reactive oxygen species, thereby further reducing the degradation risk of the photocatalyst. 3. In the molecular structure of the photocatalyst, a rigid and irreversible benzobisoxazole structure is used as the linking unit, greatly improving its chemical stability in the case of heating and acidic media.
[0112] Test Example 2 Based on the feasibility at the laboratory scale, an outdoor scaled-up experimental system based on natural sunlight was constructed. The outdoor experimental device is shown in Figure 18 a as shown, and the enlarged view is shown in Figure 18 b as shown. In the outdoor experiment, a 70 cm × 70 cm square Fresnel lens was used to focus sunlight so that the light spot could cover the entire reactor. The angle and distance between the lens and the reactor were continuously adjusted according to the position of the sun to achieve the regulation of light intensity and reaction temperature.
[0113] The reaction conditions in the outdoor experiment were scaled up by 20 times compared with those in the laboratory. The specific reaction conditions are as follows: Configuration of the oil phase: Disperse the T1 photocatalyst (600 mg) in n-octanol (300 mL), and form a homogeneous dispersion system by ultrasonic treatment; Configuration of the aqueous phase: Disperse LiCoO2 (1 g) in 0.6 M aqueous acetic acid solution (300 mL), and the oil / water volume ratio is 1:1.
[0114] After the water and oil phases were loaded into the reactor, it was sealed outdoors under an air atmosphere. This device can save the energy consumption of artificial light sources and heating devices. At the same time, a peristaltic pump (flow rate 0.5 - 50 mL·min -1 adjustable) was configured to achieve the timely separation of products and the timely replenishment of raw materials. The metal ion solution precipitated in the lower layer can be exported to the storage tank in real time, and the fresh acetic acid solution in the lower layer can be continuously input into the reaction. The temperature, natural light intensity, and focused light intensity were recorded in real time through a thermometer and a light intensity meter.
[0115] During the reaction process, aqueous phase samples (0.15 mL) were taken every hour and filtered through a 0.22 μm needle filter to remove solid particles (unreacted LiCoO2). After dilution in a certain proportion, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to quantitatively detect the contents of Li + and Co 2+ . The detection results are as shown in Figure 19 . Under the condition of full sunlight irradiation throughout the process, the cumulative dissolution amounts of Li + and Co 2+ reached 10371.7 and 9472.5 μmol respectively, and the corresponding dissolution rates could reach 1482 and 1353 μmol·h -1 . The dissolution rate of metal ions showed a strong positive correlation with sunlight intensity. During the startup stage (09:00 - 12:00) with an initial light intensity of 30 - 60 mW·cm -2 , the dissolution rates of Li + and Co 2+ stabilized at ~2200 μmol·h -1 and ~2000 μmol·h -1 respectively; while when the sunlight intensity gradually decreased to 20 - 50 mW·cm -2 during the period (13:00 - 15:00), the average dissolution rates of Li + and Co 2+ could only reach ~600 μmol·h -1 . During the period from 15:00 to 16:00, the dissolution rate of metal ions almost dropped to zero.
[0116] The sunlight-driven outdoor system demonstrated excellent long-term operation stability and practical application prospects. A 30-day outdoor empirical study was carried out, and the research results are as shown in Figure 20 . It was proved that within a complete experimental cycle including 4 cloudy days, the recovery efficiency of system metal ions remained stable, and the daily average dissolution amounts of Li + and Co 2+ reached 8.7 mmol and 8.4 mmol respectively. Particularly noteworthy is that even on the 7th day with the lowest light intensity during the experiment (cloudy weather, average temperature 8 °C, average daily sunlight intensity only 30 mW·cm -2 ), the system still maintained a dissolution efficiency of about 60%. The continuous and stable operation of the system achieved the recovery of high-value metal ions in lithium-ion batteries completely relying on solar energy. This technological breakthrough verified the feasibility of using solar energy as a single energy input to achieve efficient recycling of waste batteries.
