As one of the core components in the entire battery system, cathode materials are currently facing major challenges in pushing a higher capacity up to the materials'' theoretical limits and transitioning away from unaffordable metals.
Virtually, these approaches focus more on the reuse of lithium and cobalt because the materials used in these processes can only contain lithium, cobalt and oxygen. The core task of Li-ion battery recycling and the prerequisites for the applications of the above processes, that is, the separation of lithium and cobalt from other materials, are missing.
