Worldwide ubiquitous utilization of lithium-ion batteries: What we have done, are doing, and could do safely once they are dead?

Hybrid based on Phenazine Conjugated Microporous Polymer as a High‐Performance Organic Electrode in Aqueous Electrolytes

“…However, on the positive side, the use of non-aqueous electrolytes in Li-ion batteries is beneficial for the development of high energy density batteries, but the safety and environmental disquiets due to their flammability, toxicity, high cost, and environmental unfriendliness are less promising from the sustainability and scalability point of view. [5][6][7] Though historically developed first, and despite later overtook by Li-ion battery market, interest in aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) has been resurfacing in the recent years for the development of more sustainable energy storage systems. [8] ARBs offer significant advantages over Li-ion batteries in terms of safety and cost effectiveness due to the nonvolatility, nontoxicity, and nonflammability of water-based electrolytes.…”

A High Rate and Long Cycling Performance NaTi2(PO4)3 Core–Shell Porous Nanosphere Anode for Aqueous Sodium‐Ion Batteries

“…The over-exploitation of traditional fossil energy not only destroys the balance of the ecological environment, but also renders a dramatic resource shortage. [1,2] Therefore, storing and utilizing the energy from green and renewable sources with electric energy storage devices, e.g., rechargeable alkali ions battery is an effective approach to enable sustainable developments. [3][4][5] However, the high cost and inherent thermal safety issues of nonaqueous batteries are hindering their large-scale applications, promoting the development of novel, next-generation batteries with reduced cost and optimized thermal safety in the meantime.…”

50’ Sail Catamaran with Hybrid Propulsion, Design, Theoretical and Experimental Studies

“…The price of lithium batteries has dropped significantly in recent years, but this technology remains expensive and the acquisition of raw materials, production and finally disposal of batteries is not indifferent to the environment. Data on this subject can be found in the literature [10] [11]. Fuel cells are an amazing source of electricity.…”
