The cathode materials of LiFePO4 batteries decreases due to the gradual loss of lithium content during use. In this paper, the spent cathode materials were recycled with a carbon layer coated. The samples were prepared by a high temperature impurity removal procession and a solid phase repairing method. The LiFePO4 material obtained by the regeneration process has a discharge specific capacity of 105.4 mAh/g at 0.1 C after 10 cycles, and keeps it a considerable retention of 73.1 mAh/g at 1 C. This work provides a new routine in reusing lithium ion batteries.
