With global lithium-ion battery (LIB) production on the rise, production scraps — constituting 5 to 30 wt.% of total manufacturing output — are expected to remain a major waste stream until at least 2030. These scraps present a significant recycling challenge, necessitating effective and sustainable solutions. In this study, we conduct a life cycle...

The growing demand and production of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have led to a critical concern regarding their resources and end‐of‐life management. Consequently, LIB recycling has emerged as a prominent topic in academia and in industries, driven by new worldwide governmental regulations and the increasing gap between the supply and demand of cr...

Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) are a versatile class of 2D materials, which consist of layered di- and trivalent metal cation hydroxides with intercalated anions (1). They are used in many applications including energy storage electrodes, water purification or drug delivery (2, 3). In this new study, Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) intercalated i...

A layered double hydroxide (LDH) compound LDH ([Mg 2 Al(OH) 6 ] ⁺ x 2 H 2 O) intercalated with a redox active organic anion, Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS), has been envisioned as an electrode material for high power aqueous based battery. The purpose is to use this interlayer redox active molecule for enhancement of the specific capacity at the L...

Nanostructure control is an important issue when using electroactive materials in energy conversion and storage devices. In this study, we report various methods of synthesis of nanostructured copper (II) hydroxide nitrate (Cu2(OH)3NO3) with a layered hydroxide salt (LHS) structure using various synthesis methods and investigate the correlation bet...
