Abstract
The widespread use of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in energy storage devices has resulted in the generation of additional waste which contains valuable metal ions and these metal ions are well known for their catalytic activities. The recovered black mass of cathode material was exposed to pretreatment with final calcination for 2 h at 800 0C. After the calcination, the material was subjected to structural characterization (XRD, FE-SEM, EDAX, and XPS). In the present work, we have used spent LIBs cathode material as a catalyst for the oxidation reaction of benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid. The catalytic activity of this recovered cathode material was found to be highly efficient showing 100% conversion of benzyl alcohol with >99% selectivity of benzoic acid with lower catalyst loading of even 2%.
