💡 Novelty & Significance:
This work pioneers redox-mediated upcycling of spent LiFePO4 into thin lithium metal electrodes, achieving 98% lithium extraction and a preformed interphase. The recycled lithium enables 1,200-hour cycling and 91.4% capacity retention over 400 cycles. It uniquely couples recycling with electrode design, offering a sustainable closed-loop pathway for battery recycling and advanced negative electrode fabrication.
