Abstract

In this paper an interesting alternative for recycling of Li-ion battery cathode and and improving the corrosion resistance of 430 stainless steel is presented. The spent cathode composition has molecular formula approximately LiCoO₂. The cobalt electrodeposition onto 430 SS was performed using the cobalt bath obtained by spent LiCoO₂ lixiviation. In air atmosphere and high temperatures the metallic cobalt is transformed into a Co₃O₄ layer that acts as protection against chromium volatilization. This was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning eletron microscopy measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ after thermal treatment at 600, 700 and 800 °C show that the cobalt electrodeposition is efficient in mitigating the effects of corrosion when 430 stainless steel is subjected to high temperatures.
