Battery Recycling: Mechanistic Modelling of LiCoO${}_2$ Leaching with Coupled Diffusion-Reaction Kinetics and Film Passivation

Uddipta Sarma, Ganesh Madabattula

We developed a new mechanistic model for lithium and cobalt recovery during acidic-reductive leaching from LiCoO${}_2$. The system considers HCl as an acid and H${}_2$O${}_2$ as a reduci…
