  • 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).

    Abstract: A shift register driving a touch display device generates shifted pulse signals shifted by a specified phase. The shift register includes unit circuits connected in multiple stages. Each unit circuit includes an output terminal, an input transistor, an output transistor, and a pull-up transistor. The input transistor is controlled by a first control signal and outputs a high-level voltage to a first node based on the value of a trigger signal. The output transistor outputs the shifted pulse signal, which is synchronous with a clock control signal, based on the value of the high-level voltage of the first node. A blank period is inserted between the Nth unit circuit and the (N+1)th unit circuit.
