[ ] a cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries, was prepared using recycled . First, the cobalt hydroxide powders were separated from waste WC-Co hard metal with acid-base chemical treatment, and then the impurities were eliminated by centrifuge method. Subsequently, powders were prepared by thermal treatment of resulting . By adding a certain amount of and , the was obtained by sintering for 10 h in air at . The synthesized particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis.
