The growing demand for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) has made their postconsumer recycling an imperative need toward the recovery of valuable metals. Nevertheless, their recovery and separation from active cathode materials in LIBs, via an efficient and environmentally friendly process, have remained a challenge. In this talk, I will discuss current challenges and opportunities for sustainable recycling of LIBs using green chemistry metrics. On the example of a metal-organic framework (MOF), I will show how one can achieve efficient separation of cobalt from nickel ions.
