Electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems are integral to our daily lives, from electric vehicles to smart grids. Pursuing greener, more affordable, and safer rechargeable batteries is a key goal in advancing energy storage technology. The next SUNRISE webinar will be held on the 20th of September 2024. It will focus on the connection between rechargeable batteries and sustainability, featuring three academic research groups. Dr. Hamideh Darjazi from the Polytechnic of Torino will discuss using recycled polymers in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Dr. Darìo Alvira from the University of Zaragoza will present converting agricultural waste into biochar for Na-ion battery anodes. Prof. Eliana Quartarone from the University of Pavia will cover the RENOVATE project on battery waste recovery.
