==METHOD TO PRODUCE CATHODE MATERIALS FOR LI-ION BATTERIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240213469 titled 'METHOD TO PRODUCE CATHODE MATERIALS FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
This patent application describes a method for producing high-capacity cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries in an environmentally friendly manner. The process involves using mixed metals as raw materials in a wet chemical reaction to create high-quality metal hydroxide precursors, which can then be used to make cathode materials.

* The method uses mixed metals and an oxidant in a wet chemical reaction to produce high-quality metal hydroxide precursors.
* The aqueous solution used in the reaction can be mostly recycled back to the reactor, minimizing effluent generation.
* The process results in little to no effluent being generated during the production of the cathode precursor material.

'''Potential Applications:'''
This technology can be applied in the production of high-capacity cathode materials for use in lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in electronic devices and electric vehicles.

'''Problems Solved:'''
This method addresses the environmental concerns associated with traditional methods of producing lithium mixed metal oxide cathode materials, which generate large amounts of effluent that require treatment before discharge.

'''Benefits:'''
- Environmentally friendly production process
- High-quality cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries
- Reduced effluent generation and treatment requirements

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be utilized by battery manufacturers, electronic device manufacturers, and electric vehicle companies to produce high-performance lithium-ion batteries with reduced environmental impact.

'''Prior Art:'''
Readers can explore prior research on environmentally friendly methods for producing cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, as well as studies on recycling and waste reduction in battery manufacturing processes.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Stay informed about the latest advancements in sustainable battery manufacturing processes and materials development for energy storage applications.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

this invention provides an environmental friendly method for the production of high capacity cathode materials for use in li-ion batteries. traditional methods for producing lithium mixed metal oxide cathode materials typically generate large amounts of effluent which effluent must be treated prior to discharge. the present process uses mixed metals as raw materials, in a wet chemical reaction with an oxidant, in order to make high-quality metal hydroxide precursors which can be used to prepare high-quality cathode materials after lithiation. as a key feature, in the precursor preparation process, the bulk of the aqueous solution used for the wet chemical reaction can be recycled back to the reactor, so that the total process has little or no effluent generated during production of the cathode precursor material.
