Separation and recovery of carbon powder in anodes from spent lithium-ion batteries to synthesize graphene

Abstract Based on the structural characteristics of the anodes of lithium-ion batteries, an improved Hummers’ method is proposed to recycle the anode materials of spent lithium-ion batteries into graphene. In order to effectively separate the active material from the copper foil, water was selected...
