In 2022, the output of the lithium ion battery anode material in China is about 190 ten thousand tons, and the same ratio is increased by 68.1%, wherein the output of the lithium iron phosphate anode material is up to 58.5%, and the output of the lithium iron phosphate anode material reaches 111.15 ten thousand tons, so that the lithium iron phosphate anode material becomes the new generation lithium ion battery anode material with the most development potential. In view of the fact that the average service life of the power battery of the new energy automobile is about 6-8 years, the power battery will be retired in large scale in the future, and therefore how to realize efficient recovery of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery becomes a hot spot of current research.
At present, the recovery methods of the positive electrode materials of the waste lithium iron phosphate batteries mainly comprise two methods: pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.

The great challenge faced in the current recovery process is the removal of impurity elements (e.g., al, F) therein. Under mechanical treatment, since iron ions and aluminum ions have the same valence state, have similar ionic radii, and aluminum phosphate and iron phosphate have similar ksps, it is inevitable that aluminum is contained in the positive electrode powder. The difficulty of the current research is how to reduce the impurity content in the waste lithium iron phosphate anode powder on the basis of economy and environmental protection, and how to improve the discharge specific capacity and other electrochemical performances by regenerating and modifying the material. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop an efficient, low-cost and environment-friendly method for recycling the waste lithium iron phosphate batteries.
