  • Publication number: 20250038288
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recycled cathode active material, a method of producing the same, and a secondary battery including the same. Specifically, the method of producing a recycled cathode active material according to the present disclosure includes: step (a) of separating a current collector from a cathode active material layer and recovering a cathode active material in the cathode active material layer by thermally decomposing a binder and a conductive material in the cathode active material layer by heat-treating a waste cathode including the current collector and the cathode active material layer formed on the current collector; and step (b) of adding a lithium precursor and a cobalt-containing coating agent to the recovered cathode active material and performing annealing.

  • Patent number: 11636007
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system and an operating method thereof. A memory system may include a memory device and a memory controller configured to, when receiving from the host a flush command instructing to flush data cached in a data cache to the memory device, flush first data cached in the data cache, the first data having a size smaller than a size of the reference write unit, to the memory device, write a first parity associated with the first data to a parity memory block, update a value of a parity location pointer indicating a location where the first parity is written, and set a parity write flag indicating whether the parity at the location pointed by the parity location pointer is valid.
