Abstract

Mass demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) consumes enormous resources, thus having a great impact on the battery supply chain. It is essential to create a sustainable manufacturing cycle for LIBs. Recently in Nature, Wooley and collaborators reported an all-polypeptide organic radical battery, demonstrating the potential of sustainable, recyclable metal-free batteries.
