Mankind has created many objects of convenience which has high utility value but the impact on the environment and life is proving disastrous. These are so integrated into our daily life that we must be savvy about their use and disposal. Today I start this series with Battery.
There are three primary battery types available for consumer use. They are alkaline, nickel metal hydride (NIMH), and lithium ion. For the good of the environment, utilizing metal-free batteries is essential for its recyclable and sustainable qualities. Polypeptide organic radical construction is a step towards the implementation of effective battery usage. Currently Lithium-ion batteries are used which require cobalt and large amounts of labor effort. These batteries are hard to recycle and preserving energy is difficult after usage. Composed of the negatively charged anode and positively charged cathode, so that crucial ions are able to flow.
