In the relentless pursuit of technological advancement, world is steering toward groundbreaking progress, particularly in domain energy production and storage. storage domain, role Li-ion batteries (LIBs) indispensable, which leads to their propelling surge and, consequently, an upswing scrap generation. Considering environmental impact exorbitant value lithium heavy metals spent LIBs, a less hazardous more efficient recovery imperative. Herein, deep eutectic solvent (DES) was devised efficiently extract valuable from LIBs under optimized experimental conditions, notably without any additional reducing agents. We proposed two different choline chloride (ChCl)-based DESs, employing pyruvic acid (PA) glyoxilic (GLY) as hydrogen bond donors. Through vertical ionization potential (VIP) calculations, it observed that PA manifests lower VIP than GLY, indicating its propensity favored reductant for leaching cathode materials. Experimental findings further validated this assertion, demonstrating ChCl/PA (1:1) effectively extracts 99% both Co Li LIB materials at 80 °C within 5 h duration. Compared conventional lixiviants, approach using offered significant efficiency brings benefits sustainable economy. Interestingly, DES reached >99% after precipitation with oxalic ensuring reusability three consecutive cycles.

Sustainable MXene Synthesis via Molten Salt Method and Nano-Silicon Coating for Enhanced Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(4), P. 812 - 812

Published: Feb. 10, 2025

MXenes, a family of 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, have attracted significant attention due to their exceptional physicochemical properties electrochemical performance, making them highly promising for diverse applications, particularly in energy storage. Despite notable advancements, MXene synthesis remains critical challenge, as conventional methods often rely on hazardous hydrofluoric acid-based processes, posing substantial environmental safety risks. In this study, we present an eco-friendly approach MXenes using molten salt which offer safer, sustainable alternative while enabling scalable production. Additionally, explore the development high-performance battery anodes by fabricating nanocomposites nano-silicon MXene, followed bio-inspired polydopamine coating carbonization process. This innovative strategy not only enhances structural stability performance but also aligns with environmentally conscious design principles. Our findings demonstrate potential nanocomposite materials advancing storage technologies.
