The invention relates to the technical field of
lithium ion battery
material recovery and regeneration, and discloses a preparation method of a regenerated
graphite negative
electrode material based on
molten salt electrochemical repair and the regenerated
graphite negative
electrode material. The preparation method of the regenerated
graphite negative
electrode material comprises the following steps: S1, discharging and disassembling: discharging, disassembling, crushing and sorting a waste
lithium ion battery to obtain a negative
electrode material mixture containing graphite; s2, pretreatment: carrying out pretreatment to obtain pretreated graphite; s3, electrochemical repair of
molten salt: taking the pretreated graphite as a
cathode, placing the pretreated graphite in a
molten salt electrolyte containing CaCl2, taking an
inert electrode as an
anode, applying a
voltage lower than the potential of
anion intercalation of graphite in the molten salt
system to the
cathode, and carrying out constant-
voltage electrolysis; and S4, post-treatment: after
electrolysis is completed, washing and
drying to obtain the regenerated graphite negative
electrode material. The prepared regenerated graphite negative
electrode material is low in
metal impurity content, and the first coulombic efficiency and the like are improved.
