Many of the resources used to make batteries, such as lithium and pure graphite, are in limited supply or can potentially harm the environment after being disposed of. So, researchers are investigating ways to make batteries last longer, recover compounds from spent batteries or even incorporate alternative components. Below are some recent papers published in ACS journals that report insights into more sustainable technologies and materials to produce the next generation of batteries.
