Application: Advanced direct recycling methods for lithium-ion batteries (Patent ID: US20240088465A1)
The patent filed by Nissan Motor Co Ltd describes a method for separating a binder from cathode active material particles by combining them with water and solvent in a vessel to form a single phase, allowing it to settle into two phases, and then separating the phases based on their contents. The first phase contains the solvent and binder, while the second phase contains water and cathode active material particles.
The method involves various additional steps and variations, such as using specific materials like polyvinylidene fluoride as the binder and LiNiMnCoO2 as the cathode active material particles. Different techniques like mixing, agitation, ultrasonic vibration, and thermal treatment can be used to combine the components. The solvent options include cyclohexane, cyclopentanone, and 3-heptanone. The process also includes the use of a stabilizer, catalyst, and surfactant in certain embodiments to aid in the separation process. Overall, the method provides a detailed and systematic approach to efficiently separate binders from cathode active material particles in battery production.
