Abstract Lithium cobalt oxide battery has played an important role in industrial production and daily-life since its commercialization. Electrochemical method is simple, efficient and environmentally friendly, and is widely used in the preparation and recovery of lithium cobalt oxide materials. Therefore, state-of-art lithium cobalt oxide materials of lithium-ion batteries prepared and recovery by electrochemical approach is systematically reviewed, especially its process, principles and electrochemical properties of the obtained products. This article is of great significance to the development of electrochemical methods in the field of preparation and recovery of LiCoO₂ materials.
