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...
By considering the qualitative benefits associated with solution rheology and mechanical properties of polymer semiconductors, it is expected that polymer-based electronic devices will soon enter our daily lives as indispensable elements in a myriad flexible ultra low-cost flat panel displays. Despite more than decade research focused on designing synthesizing state-of-the-art semiconductors for improving charge transport characteristics, current mobility values are still not sufficient many...
