Sustainable upcycling of ABS plastic waste into nanostructured carbon for lithium-ion battery applications
Aisha Zhanaikhan, Kuanysh Kurtibay, Aliya Mukanova, Sung-Soo Kim, Arailym NurpeissovaABS plastic waste is upcycled into nanostructured carbon anode through H 2 SO 4 -assisted crosslinking, increasing carbon yield by nearly sixfold. The resulting anode delivers ∼350 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles and exhibits stable low-temperature performance.
