Recent advancements in green technology have led to innovative ways to turn everyday waste, such as the 23 million tons of coffee grounds produced annually, into valuable resources for improving battery performance. By repurposing coffee waste into bio-composites with zinc oxide, researchers create electrodes for lithium-ion batteries that offer a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials. These bio-composites help reduce waste, promote a circular economy and improve battery performance with enhanced conductivity, better charge-discharge rates and longer lifespan. Additionally, their production process is energy-efficient and cost-effective, making it scalable for widespread use. This approach not only supports recycling efforts but also advances green technology and energy storage solutions, aligning with global goals to reduce carbon footprints and enhance sustainability.
