Direct recycling of spent anode material via spontaneous coating derived from binder carbonization

Key Points

• Direct recycling of spent anode material can improve recovery efficiency without extensive processing.
• Using binder carbonization, a novel approach coats spent material and enhances its utility in energy applications.
• Observational analysis focused on recycling techniques shows promise in recovering valuable materials from e-waste.
• This method may enable sustainable practices in material recycling, reducing environmental impact and waste.
