Upcycling of waste Ni-MH battery casing into Binder-Free electrode for efficient ethanol Electro-Oxidation

Key Points

• Efficient ethanol electro-oxidation was observed with the novel binder-free electrode made from waste battery casings, leading to sustainable practices.
• The binder-free electrode showed a notable performance with a peak current density reaching 120 mA/cm² during ethanol electro-oxidation processes.
• Observation included a transformation of used Ni-MH battery casings into functional electrode material for improved chemical reactions in energy applications.
• This method highlights the potential for waste materials to contribute to alternative energy solutions, promoting both recycling and sustainable technology.
