An environmentally-friendly route based on hydrometallurgy was investigated for the recovery of cobalt and lithium from spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using different organic acids (citric acid, Dl-malic acid, oxalic acid and acetic acid). In this investigation, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to optimize leaching parameters including solid to liquid ratio (S/L), temperature, acid concentration, type of organic acid and hydrogen peroxide concentration. Based on the results obtained from optimizing procedure, temperature was recognized as the most influential parameter. In addition, while 81% of cobalt was recovered, the maximum lithium recovery of 92% was achieved at the optimum leaching condition of 60°C, S/L: 30gL, citric acid concentration: 2M, hydrogen peroxide concentration: 1.25Vol.% and leaching time: 2h. Furthermore, results displayed that ultrasonic agitation will enhance the recovery of lithium and cobalt. It was found that the kinetics of cobalt leaching is controlled by surface chemical reaction at temperatures lower than 45°C. However, diffusion through the product layer at temperatures higher than 45°C controls the rate of cobalt leaching. Rate of lithium reaction is controlled by diffusion through the product layer at all the temperatures studied.

Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries has attracted worldwide attention to ensure sustainability of electric vehicle industry. Pretreatment as an essential step for recycling of spent LIBs is critical to ensure the recovery efficiency and quality of black mass which is used for further materials regeneration. Usually, high temperature pyrolysis, at around 600 °C is required during the pretreatment to achieve effective separation of the black mass that is binding on aluminium foils with polyvinylidene fluoride binder.

To alleviate the energy crisis and control environmental pollution raised by spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the development of efficient and economic methods for their recycling is crucial for sustainable development of new energy industry. Herein, a combined pyro - hydrometallurgical process was adopted for recovery of valuable metal elements for spent LiNiCoMnO (NCM523). Different from conventional pyrometallurgical methods with high temperature and energy consumption, the NHHSO roasting strategy works at 400 °C and achieves remarkable leaching efficiencies of Li, Co, Mn, and Ni achieved 97.

The recycling of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries represents a significant step towards meeting the enhancing resource requirements in the new energy industry. Nevertheless, achieving effective leaching of metals from the stable metal-oxygen (MO6) structure of spent ternary cathodes and separation of metal products simultaneously still remained a huge challenge towards industrial applications. Herein, a competitive coordination strategy was proposed to design a novel deep eutectic solvent (DESs), which improved both leaching and selective metal recycling capacity even at high solid-liquid ratio (1:10).

The evolution of energy structure and the push for carbon neutrality have triggered an urgent call for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, reclaiming end-of-life LIBs with high purity, high efficiency, and low environmental impact, particularly by eliminating chemical reagent usage and promoting a closed-loop carbon footprint, is challenging. Herein, we proposed a strategy that couples the carbon capture (CC) process with an electrochemically enhanced membrane distillation system (ECMD).
