[ferro-alloys.com]Researchers at Purdue University and Tufts University in the US, together with colleagues at the Indian Institute of Technology, are transforming waste polyethylene terephthalate into battery components.

In a study published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, the scientists explain that they used an ultrafast microwave irradiation process to turn polyethylene terephthalate flakes into disodium terephthalate and use that as battery anode material.
