Method for oxidizing agent-aided restoration of failed lithium cobalt oxide under reinforcement of ultrasonic field

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for oxidizing agent-aided restoration of failed lithium cobalt oxide under reinforcement of an ultrasonic field. The method comprises the following concrete steps: disassembling a lithium ion battery to obtain a positive electrode aluminum foil film, calcining the positive electrode aluminum foil film and shaking the positive electrode aluminum foil film to allow lithium cobalt oxide to fall off from a current collector aluminum foil so as to obtain a powdery lithium cobalt oxide material; immersing lithium cobalt oxide powder into a lithium hydroxide solution, dumping mixed liquor into an ultrasonic reaction vessel after mixing, adding an oxidizing agent, rapidly sealing the ultrasonic reaction vessel, carrying out heating to a temperature of 120 DEG C and applying ultrasonic radiation for 8 to 10 h; and after cooling of the ultrasonic reaction vessel, taking out a mixed solution and carrying out cleaning, filtering and drying so as to obtain a restored lithium cobalt oxide material. The method provided by the invention can effectively remove a part of organic matters adhered onto the surface of lithium cobalt oxide, increases lithium ion content in the failed lithium cobalt oxide and enables electrochemical performances of the restored lithium cobalt oxide material to be regenerated; the restored lithium cobalt oxide material can be used as a positive electrode material again for production of a new lithium ion battery; the method has the advantages of simple operation, easily controllable process, low energy consumption, environment friendliness and no generation of secondary pollutants.
