Abstract

In order to achieve low-cost regeneration of waste lithium iron phosphate electrode sheets, this paper uses LiH2PO4 recovered by acid leaching method as raw material to regenerate LiFePO4/C, and further explores the effect of temperature on the electrochemical performance of regenerated LiFePO4/C. Through material structure characterization, it was found that the characteristic peaks of the recovered LiH2PO4 corresponded one-to-one with the standard card, indicating a high degree of crystallinity, no obvious impurities, high purity, and complete crystal structure. When the temperature is 750℃, the lithium iron ratio is 1.03, and the conductive carbon black content is 5% of the mixture mass fraction, the regenerated LiFePO4/C exhibits the best electrochemical performance, with a first week discharge specific capacity of 125.7mAh/g at a rate of 0.1C; At 1C magnification, the first week discharge specific capacity is 106.2mAh/g, and after the 100th week, the discharge specific capacity is 93.1mAh/g, with a capacity retention rate of 87.7%. The cost of raw materials used is relatively low compared to other processes, and the regenerated LiFePO4/C produced by this process has the advantage of low price, making it more suitable for the mid to low-end energy storage market.
