Closed-loop cobalt recycling from spent lithium-ion batteries based on a deep eutectic solvent (DES) with easy solvent recovery

Caption

The recycling of LCO is realized in a closed-loop protocol, where the dissolution/extraction of the cobalt element involves no additional precipitates, thus enabling the reusability of the leaching solution.
