Disclosed are approaches for recycling LIBs where lithium is recovered before the other node metals in order to increase the amount of lithium recovered. For such approaches, the other node metals need not be further refined or recovered and, despite the small loss of these other node metals as impurities in the first-recovered lithium, the available alternative dispositions for these other node metals—such as in the form of multi-metal-oxides (MMO)—can render the recovery of lithium before the other node metals to be advantageous. Several such approaches may feature nitration, roasting, lithium trapping, and/or other innovative features to facilitate greater and purer recoveries of the target LIB components.

Resumen de: US2025370053A1
Disclosed is a detection circuit and a method for detecting an internal resistance of a battery unit. By controlling an operating frequency of a first switch, a disturbance current of a certain frequency is generated, causing a voltage disturbance. A first analog-to-digital converter converts the voltage disturbance into a first digital signal. The internal resistance of a corresponding sub-battery is detected based on the first digital signal, and a discharge current or a second digital signal converted from a current sampling signal of the discharge current. By sending a difference between a battery voltage and a reference voltage to the first analog-to-digital converter for conversion, compared with directly sending a battery voltage, the voltage range to be quantified by the first analog-to-digital converter is smaller, improving resolution, reducing quantization error, enhancing detection accuracy, eliminating a need for using a DC-blocking filter capacitor, saving space, facilitating integration and miniaturization.
