Schematic diagram of recycling and reuse of lithium-ion graphene oxide batteries If spent LiBs are not properly disposed of, they can waste resources and harm the environment. If improperly handled, hazardous metal and flammable electrolytes, including graphite particles found in spent LiBs, might jeopardize the environment and human health.
In the report on current developments in the fabrication of graphene and related materials for high-performance LiB electrodes, Kumar et al. discovered that the addition of metal oxide or sulphur dioxide to graphene enhanced both its anode and cathode performances .
The 2D flexibility of graphene makes it easy for it to dynamically attach to metal oxide surfaces. Graphene composite cathodes for LiBs that are most frequently described include doped graphene, pristine graphene and graphene composites, including graphene/metal phosphates, graphene/metal silicates and graphene/metal chalcogenides, among others.
For the preparation of the lithium ion battery cathodes, 10 wt% Super P was first mixed with 10 wt% polyvinylidene difluoride in N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone followed by the addition of 80 wt% of the active material EG/cLFP, and all were mixed with stainless steel balls for ball-milling at 400 r.p.m.

Many attempts are being made to produce novel nanostructured composite anode materials for LiBs that display cycle stability that is superior to that of graphite using graphene oxide. Therefore, using significant amounts of waste graphene oxide from used LiBs represents a fantastic opportunity to engage in waste management and circular economy.

In addition, the cell with the CuS/graphene-coated separator exhibits a lower voltage decay during the rest time, suggesting that the self-discharge was well restrained by the modified separator. It is worthwhile to expect a higher quality electrochemical performance of the Li/S battery with a modified CuS/graphene-coated separator.

Abstract Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as the most attractive anode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretic specific capacity. The formation of unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and dendritic Li on the metal anode, however, hindered its practical application.
