Recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries is essential for the sustainable development renewable energy technologies, as it promotes resource reuse and environmental protection. cathode materials particularly important due to their high concentration strategic elements. However, traditional recycling methods are often inefficient consumption prolonged operation time. Here, we present an efficient, one-step, nondestructive method regenerating LiCoO2 cathodes within seconds. This simultaneously achieves relithiation material repair crystal structure through rapid Joule heating. Compared methods, this process exhibits low shortened After 8 s process, regenerated has a well-defined layered restored its original electrochemical performance, with initial discharge capacity 133.0 mAh/g good cycling performance. work represents potentially universal approach efficient direct regeneration materials.

Abstract The rapid growth of electric vehicle use is expected to cause a significant environmental problem in the next few years due large number spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Recycling LIBs will not only alleviate problems but also address challenge limited natural resources shortages. While several hydro‐ and pyrometallurgical processes are developed for recycling different components batteries, direct regeneration presents clear environmental, economic advantages. principle approach restoring electrochemical performance by healing defective structure materials. Thus, development technology largely depends on formation mechanism defects LIBs. This review systematically details degradation mechanisms types found diverse cathode materials, graphite anodes, current collectors during battery's lifecycle. Building this understanding, principles methodologies directly rejuvenating materials within outlined. Also main challenges solutions large‐scale proposed. Furthermore, aims pave way discarded offering theoretical foundation practical guidance.

Abstract The ever‐growing demand for resources sustainability has promoted the recycle of spent lithium‐ion batteries to a strategic position. Direct outperforms either hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical approaches due high added value and facile treatment processes. However, traditional direct recycling technologies are only applicable Ni‐poor/middle cathodes. Herein, Ni‐rich LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn O 2 (S‐NCM) performance‐enhanced single‐crystalline cathode materials is directly recycled using simple but effective LiOH‐NaCl molten salt. evolution process Li‐supplement grain‐recrystallization during regeneration systematically investigated, successful recovery highly degraded microstructure comprehensively proven, including significant elimination Ni 2+ vacancies. Beneficial from favorable reconstructed particles, regenerated NCM (R‐NCM) represents remarkably enhanced structural stability, electrochemical activity, cracks suppression charge/discharge, thus achieving excellent performances in long‐term cycling high‐rate tests. As result, R‐NCM maintains 86.5% reversible capacity at 1 C after 200 cycles. Instructively, present salt can be successfully applied NCMs with various Li compositions (e.g., 0.5 0.2 0.3 ).
