Abstract

Abstract: In this work, cathode materials of spent lithium-ion ternary batteries are recovered and used as metal precursor to prepare multi-metal oxides MnO_x(SY) and GdMnO₃(SY) via combustion method and sol–gel method, respectively. Furthermore, a series of MnO_x(SY)-n and GdMnO₃(SY)-n (n = 0.05, 0.10, 1.00, 4.00, n represents the dilute HNO₃ concentration) catalysts are fabricated by acid treatment of MnO_x(SY) and GdMnO₃(SY) samples and catalytic activities of oxygenated VOCs oxidation over all the prepared catalysts are investigated. Catalytic evaluation results show that acid-treated MnO_x(SY)-0.10 and GdMnO₃(SY)-0.05 samples perform the optimum VOCs removal efficiency respectively, which may be attributed to their obvious enhancement of physicochemical properties. In detail, MnO_x(SY)-0.10 and GdMnO₃(SY)-0.05 samples exhibit the larger specific surface area, bigger amount of surface high-valence metal ions (Mn⁴⁺, Co³⁺, Ni³⁺), more abundant adsorbed oxygen species and better low-temperature reducibility, which can play a crucial role in the significant improvement of VOCs oxidation. In situ DRIFTS results imply that the possible main intermediates are -OCO, -COO and -C-O species produced during VOCs oxidation. Possible by-products are further determined via TD/GC–MS analysis.
