1. An advanced recycling technique for recovering valuable metals (Li, Co, Mn, Ni) from spent LIBs with high purity and yield through the hydrometallurgy method and recycling these metals into an environmental catalyst will be the overall outcome.
2. Optimizing the green synthesis approach from the recovered metals to the metallic nanomaterial as a catalyst adds a novel approach to e-waste recycling.
3. Based on objective 1 of the proposal, the outcome is the development of single metal oxide through an effective extraction method.
4. Objective 2 achieves a metal composite through the green synthesis route using biomass extracts as a reducing agent.
5. Objective 3 will attain the oxidation of the VOCs using the developed catalyst combination, an optimized composition, reaction conditions, and a synthesis method that achieves effective catalyst properties will be identified through this objectives.
