Key Points

To explore methods for recycling nickel-rich cathodes focusing on value retention through recovery and restoration.
Proposed a classification system for recycling nickel-rich cathodes.
Outlined three key processes: elemental recovery, structural preservation, and functional restoration.
Elemental recovery enhances metal inventory.
Structural preservation maintains the integrity of the layered framework.
Functional restoration leads to improved performance of recycled materials.

Implication

Perspective proposes a value-retention classification for recycling nickel-rich cathodes, enabling better recovery and performance enhancement.

Abstract

A value-retention classification is proposed for Ni-rich cathode recycling: elemental recovery retrieves metal inventory, structural preservation repairs the layered framework, and functional restoration upgrades performance.
