Recovery of Nickel from Waste Lithium Ion Secondary Battery and Fabrication of Nickel Nanopowder

摘要

A study on the refining of nickel sulfate solution from sulfuric acid leached solution of spent lithium ion battery and fabrication of nickel nanopowders from the nickel sulfate solution was investigated, the nickel sulfate solution with high purity(>99.9%) was refined by precipitation method and solvent extraction method, the nickel nanopowders were synthesized by liquid phase reduction method with hydrazine and sodium hydroxide, the purity of nickel sulfate solution and nickel nanopowders were measured by EDTA(ethylenediaminetetraacetic) titration method with ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer), morphology, particle size and crystal structure of the nickel nanopowder was observed using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction spectroscopy.
