  • Publication number: 20240128531
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for recycling all types of lithium batteries. First, the lithium battery waste is acid-leached to obtain a solution containing most of metal ions. After filtering, the solution is separated from the remaining solids, and then the obtained solution is subjected to separate precipitation many times. After separately adjusting the pH value of the solution many times, adding precipitants with a high selectivity ratio, and matching with filtration and separation reaction, all ions in the lithium battery waste are sequentially precipitated in forms of iron phosphate (FePO4), aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), manganese oxide (MnO2), dicobalt trioxide (cobalt oxide, Co2O3), nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2), and lithium carbonate (Li2CO3).

  • Patent number: 11652051
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a contact structure and an electronic device having the same. The contact structure includes: a substrate; a copper layer disposed on the substrate; an adhesion promotion layer disposed on the copper layer, wherein the adhesion promotion layer forms a monomolecular adsorption layer on the surface of the copper layer; and a silver nanowire layer disposed on the adhesion promotion layer, and the adhesive force between the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer is 3B or more. In the present disclosure, by disposing the adhesion promotion layer on the copper layer, in the stacked structure of the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer, the adhesive force between the copper layer and the silver nanowire layer is increased, so as to prevent a peeling phenomenon of the copper layer occurring in the subsequent yellow-light process.
