Abstract:
LiCoO(2) material is recovered from spent lithium-ion batteries and investigated as anode materials for Ni/Co power batteries for the first time. LiCoO(2) electrodes with a small amount of S-doping display excellent electrochemical properties. The electrochemical reactions occurring on M0 electrodes during the first several cycles and after being activated are proposed, respectively. A function mechanism of S powder on M10 electrode is also proposed.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
