The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries can effectively mitigate the environmental and resource challenges arising from escalating generation battery waste soaring demand for metals. existing mixing-then-separating process is confronted with high entropy-increasing procedures, including crushing leaching, which result in irreversible entropy production due to decrease material orderliness or heavy chemical consumption, thereby hindering its thermodynamic efficiency economic viability entire process. Herein, we propose a galvanic leaching strategy that leverages self-assembly LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 particles their inherent aluminium foil current collectors batteries, creating primary cell system capable recovering metals without pre-crushing additional reductants. Under theoretical potential difference up 3.84 V, electrons flow charge aggregation achieve valence state reduction, crystal phase transition coordination environment change hard-to-dissolve metal components, contributing over 90% recovery nearly 30-fold increase kinetics. Environmental-economic assessments further indicate this reduces energy consumption carbon emissions by 11.36%-21.10% 5.08%-23.18%, respectively, compared conventional metallurgical methods, while enhancing benefits 21.14%-49.18%. methods face problems.

Abstract The large size of K + ions (1.38 Å) sets a challenge in achieving high kinetics and long lifespan potassium storage devices. Here, fibrous ZrO 2 membrane is utilized as reactive template to construct dual‐carbon K‐ion capacitor. Unlike graphite, ‐catalyzed graphitic carbon presents relatively disordered layer arrangement with an expanded interlayer spacing 0.378 nm accommodate insertion/extraction. Pyridine‐derived nitrogen sites can locally store K‐ions without disrupting the formation stage‐1 graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). Consequently, N‐doped hollow fiber achieves ‐storage capacity (primarily below 1 V), which 1.5 time that commercial graphite. Potassium‐ion hybrid capacitors are assembled using electrodes nanofiber separator. capacitor exhibits power 40 000 W kg −1 , full charge 8.5 s, 93% retention after 5000 cycles at A g low self‐discharge rate 8.6 mV h . scalability performance lattice‐expanded tubular underscores may advance practical potassium‐ion capacitors.

Abstract Graphite is considered to be the most auspicious anode candidate for potassium ion batteries. However, inferior rate performances and cycling stability restrict its practical applications. Few studies have investigated modulating graphitization degree of graphitic materials. Herein, a nitrogen‐doped carbon‐coated carbon fiber composite with tunable (CNF@NC) through etching growth, in‐situ oxidative polymerization, subsequent carbonization process reported. The prepared CNF@NC abundant electrochemical active sites rapid K + /electron transfer pathway, can effectively shorten distance promote insertion/removal . Amorphous domains short‐range curved graphite layers provide ample mitigation spaces storage, alleviating volume expansion highly graphitized CNF during repeated insertion/de‐intercalation. As expected, CNF@NC‐5 electrode presents high initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) 69.3%, an unprecedented reversible volumetric capacity 510.2 mA h cm −3 at 0.1 A g −1 after 100 cycles mass‐capacity 294.9 storage mechanism reaction kinetic analysis are studied by combining first‐principles calculation. It manifests that in adsorption‐insertion‐insertion (i.e., “1+2” model). solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film forming also detected.
