Influence Of Ambient Atmosphere To Active Material Of Disassembled Li-Ion Accumulator

Abstract

At the present time the worldwide hot topic is recycling. How to deal with the product at the end of its life cycle? This paper is focused on recycling of active cathode material of lithiumion accumulators. The research considers the influence of ambient atmosphere on different types of lithium-ion accumulators within a time period. As the recycling method was chosen the solvent extraction. The results show a comparison of two the most common used cathode materials for lithium-ion accumulators – LiCoO2 and LiMn1/3Ni1/3Co1/3O2. At the forefront is the time period from disassembly the lithium-ion accumulator to extract cathode active material without structure changes due to the effect of the air atmosphere.
