Title: The recycling of various wastes for the electrode materials rechargeable battery

Abstract:

In this article, the rapid development of modern social economy and the growth of the population inevitably result in the production of a large quantity of various industrial wastes or domestic garbages such as waste Cu circuit printed board etchant, waste Cu scraps, expired medicine, waste cigarettes butts etc. Therefore, in order to stimulate the circular economy mode and protect the environment, it is urgent how to reasonably these wastes. For this purpose, the investigations of a series of wastes were carried out by various methods and routes such as thermal routes, sol-gel, high temperature solid reaction, electrodeposition, liquid reaction and so on. Resultantly, a series of function materials with controllable morphology were obtained, as shown in the following figures. Furthermore, the corresponding application feasibilities as the electrode materials in the rechargeable batteries were also evaluated. Thus, both the circular economy and low consumption of fresh raw mineral materials would be achieved, which no doubt facilitate the sustainable development and the harmony between the people and the natural environment.
