However, due to the periodicity of the life of lithium ion batteries, a large amount of lithium iron phosphate batteries are scrapped, and thus, research on how to dispose of the scrapped lithium iron phosphate batteries is needed.

TABLE 1
As can be seen from comparison of examples 4, 5 and 1, a part of Fe in the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is oxidized from Fe (II) to Fe (III), so that Li lattice loss can not be intercalated, the concentration of carbon source is low, fe is insufficiently reduced, the intercalation of lithium ions is affected, and finally the performance of the lithium iron phosphate material is affected; in addition, the low concentration of the carbon source can lead to incomplete carbon coating on the surface of the generated product, influence the conductivity of the prepared lithium iron phosphate and further influence the electrochemical performance.
When the concentration of the carbon source is too high, the recovery cost is increased, excessive redundant carbon inclusion is generated, the tap density of the obtained lithium iron phosphate product is reduced, and the electrochemical performance is adversely affected.
As can be seen from comparison of examples 7, 8 and 1, partial Fe in the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is oxidized from Fe (II) to Fe (III), if the concentration of the reducing agent is too low, trivalent iron can not be sufficiently reduced, and the electrochemical performance of the finally obtained lithium iron phosphate is affected; when the concentration of the reducing agent is too high, the recovery cost is increased.
In conclusion, the recovery method provided by the invention adopts hydrothermal lithium-liquid phase carbon coating coupling to realize the regeneration of LiFePO of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery 4 And (3) the short-process reconstruction of the (C) can efficiently realize the recycling of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery with low cost and high added value. In addition, the solid-solid conversion can be realized through hydrothermal treatment without adopting acid leaching, alkaline leaching, extraction and other processes in the process of the recovery method, so that the requirements on production equipment and the production cost of the whole recovery process are greatly reduced; in addition, the recycling prevention provided by the invention does not generate secondary pollution, can give consideration to environmental protection and economic benefits, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that fall within the technical scope of the present invention disclosed herein are within the scope of the present invention.
