​Researchers use electrode materials from used batteries to make cathodes with enhanced lithium storage properties 

South China University of Technology researchers have proposed a sustainable strategy to synthesize a series of FePO4 wrapped by reduced graphene oxides (FePO4@rGx (x = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) composites directly from waste LiFePO₄ batteries. 

This strategy not only provides closed-loop recycling of both cathode (LiFePO₄) and anode (graphite) materials, but also enhances performance via in situ rG wrapping.
