The Possibility of Using Oxide Cathode Materials of Spent Lithium-Ion Power Batteries for Carbon Dioxide Capture from Fossil Fuel Plant

Abstract:

Following during development of electric vehicles and other modern-life appliances, numerous lithium-ion batteries are fabricated and used every year, and their consumption is constantly expanding. However, the battery life of the lithium-ion batteries is about 3 to 5 years, and there are some hazardous and noxious substances in spent lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, it is necessary to recycling these spent batteries with some resourceful and environment friendly technology. In this work, we propose a novel technology of resourceful disposing and utilizing oxide cathode materials from spent power lithium-ion batteries, which is using the recovered compounds from spent lithium-ion batteries to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel plant. The detailed technical routes of laboratory scale test and bench scale test are also given in the work.
