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 and current collectors were predominantly applied for RABs, which have limited their real-world efficacy. In the present work, we propose a scalable process to utilize electronic waste (e-waste) Cu wires as a cost-effective current collector for high-energy wire-type RABs. Initially, the vertically aligned CuO nanowires were prepared over the waste Cu wires via in situ alkaline corrosion. Then, both atomic-layer-deposited NiO and NiCo-hydroxide were applied to the CuO nanowires to form a uniform dendritic-structured NiCo-hydroxide/NiO/CuO/Cu electrode. When the prepared dendritic-structured electrode was applied to the RAB, it showed excellent electrochemical features, namely high-energy-density (82.42 Wh kg−1), excellent specific capacity (219 mAh g−1), and long-term cycling stability (94% capacity retention over 5000 cycles). The presented approach and material meet the requirements of a cost-effective, abundant, and highly efficient electrode for advanced eco-friendly RABs. More importantly, the present method provides an efficient path to recycle e-waste for value-added energy storage applications.

  • Mi et al. obtained a 2D CoOOH sheet-encapsulated Ni2P tubular array electrocatalytic system by electrochemically driven means.

    “Mi et al.[44] obtained a 2D CoOOH sheet-encapsulated Ni2P tubular array electrocatalytic system by electrochemically driven”

    From Flexible Electrocatalyst Engineering Based on 2D Ultrathin Nanosheets and Lamellar Fern‐Like Aerogel for Water Electrolysis (2025) · cites this paper as [44]

    The Experimental Section (page unavailable) says the authors prepared NiCo-hydroxide nanowires on a NiO/CuO/Cu electrode by chemical bath deposition, with NiO deposited by atomic-layer deposition. The Results and Discussion likewise identifies that dendritic electrode as the material studied. This is a different material and preparation route from the claimed electrochemically obtained CoOOH-encapsulated Ni2P tubular array. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
