Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is observed in conventional lithium-ion batteries in which cell performance has been reduced. In this paper, a catalyst to electrochemically decompose Li2CO3 was investigated to develop a Li reproduction technology. It has been accepted that iodine with a redox potential b...
