Recycling Microplastics to Fabricate Anodes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries: From Removal of Environmental Troubles via Electrocoagulation to Useful Resources (Adv. Sci. 8/2023)
Summary
Researchers collected microplastics using electrocoagulation and then converted them into carbon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The approach removes environmental plastic pollution while creating functional battery components from the waste. This circular approach demonstrates a promising strategy for turning microplastic pollution into a useful resource.
Microplastics Microplastics that adversely affect the ecosystem are effectively collected using electrocoagulation. In particular, the collected microplastics are effectively applied as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries as a strategy to circulate waste for a sustainable society.
