Research shows that deep eutectic solvents enhance capacity retention of waste graphite anodes, suggesting an eco-friendly solution for battery recycling.
Key Points
The regenerated graphite maintains a remarkable capacity of 365 mAh g −1 at 0.5C, showcasing the effectiveness of deep eutectic solvents.
With a capacity retention rate of 95.5%, the method significantly improves the usability of waste graphite compared to commercial options.
This approach utilizes low-melting, cost-effective deep eutectic solvents, reducing CO2 emissions during the regeneration process.
The findings indicate potential for large-scale industrial application, merging environmental efficiency with economic benefits.
