Abstract:Demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is rapidly increasing with the electrification of automobiles and the spread of new energy management systems. It is desired to recover lithium resources, whose supply and demand are tight, from spent LIB and seawater. Lithium for LIB must have a high purity of 99.9% or higher. The electrodialysis method using a lithium ion electrolyte has a high potential for recovering such high-purity lithium. Kunugi et al. [1] reported that only lithium ions could be recovered from Li… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
