Spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are more hazardous due to the presence of several toxic metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, manganese, etc. as well as electrolytes such as LiPF , LiBF , or LiClO . However, these spent LIBs are the secondary source of metals that can be extracted and reused in...
