Abstract Rechargeable alkaline batteries (RABs) have received remarkable attention in the past decade for their high energy, low cost, safe operation, facile manufacture, and eco-friendly nature. To date, expensive electrode materials current collectors were predominantly applied RABs, which limited real-world efficacy. In present work, we propose a scalable process to utilize electronic waste (e-waste) Cu wires as cost-effective collector high-energy wire-type RABs. Initially, vertically...

Fast ion transport is essential for high rate capability in rechargeable battery operation. Recently, an ultrafast aluminum-ion was experimentally demonstrated through the reversible intercalation/deintercalation of chloroaluminate anions (AlCl4–) graphitic-foam cathodes. Using first-principles calculations, herein, we report that unique structural characteristic graphitic foam, i.e., mechanical flexibility few-layered graphene nanomaterials, plays a key role battery. We found AlCl4– stored...
