Cathode materials and their precursors are prepared with transition metal solutions recycled from the thewaste lithium-ion batteries containing NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) cathodes by a H2 and C-reduction process. Therecycled transition metal sulfate solutions are used in a co-precipitation process in a CSTR reactor to obtain the tran-sition metal hydroxide. The NCM cathode materials (Ni:Mn:Co=5:3:2) are prepared from the transition metal hydroxideby calcining with lithium carbonate. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses show that the cathodematerial has a layered structure and particle size of about 10 µm. The cathode materials also exhibited a capacity ofabout 160 mAh/g with a retention rate of 93~96% after 100 cycles.

transition metals(Cu, Co)/ZSM-5 catalyst was made by mechanical alloying method, and their microstructures and repeated usage-properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The conversions ability of NO in the catalyst was measured. A part of ZSM-5 in CO/ZSM-5 composite powders was amorphous and the amorphous phase became less stable with increasing Co content. Conversion ability of NO in 10Cu/ZSM-5 powders decreased from 89% to 12% and that in 10Co/ZSM-5 decreased from 22% to 17% by 7 times conversion tests.
