New paper published on electrochemical lithium-ion battery recycling in Energy Advances. We demonstrate a sustainable, energy-efficient electrochemical route to recover Li⁺ from spent LFP using carbon-coated LFP electrodes, with NaOH-adjusted electrolytes giving the highest efficiency and an average removal capacity of 18 mg Li per 1 g of LFP over 50 cycles. Capacity fades with prolonged cycling (especially with competing Na⁺ and K⁺) highlighting the need to optimize electrolyte conditions and electrode stability while exploring alternative pH control and scalable designs for circular, low-impact battery recycling.
