6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
A fully developed battery using metallic sodium does exist in the form of Na/S batteries. The Na/S system traditionally uses a solid beta-alumina electrolyte and operates at a temperature of between 300 and 350 °C .
The battery metals account for ~30 weight % (wt %) of the battery (11), which is far higher than those in natural resources, especially for cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lithium [<1000 parts per million (ppm)] (8, 9). Therefore, spent LIBs are a local and promising alternative resource for the supply of battery metals.
Battery metals are essential to produce cathode materials deployed in commercial secondary lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially for lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese (1, 2). Current strategies to collect battery metals from their natural reserves are resource and pollution intensive and unsustainable in the long term (3 – 6).
Battery material data is usually multi-source (such as experimental, computational, production and literature data) and heterogeneous (such as structured and unstructured data), and the external consistency of data from different sources is difficult to ensure, resulting in the final dataset used for ML modeling often being small samples.
Chemists have at hand powerful diffraction and spectroscopic techniques to interrogate the materials locally and in the bulk (Fig. 4), but we should not miss the advantages offered by the ongoing development of new methods addressing the specific challenges in the metal-ion batteries.

Current strategies to collect battery metals from their natural reserves are resource and pollution intensive and unsustainable in the long term ( 3 – 6 ).
New battery materials must simultaneously fulfil several criteria: long lifespan, low cost, long autonomy, very good safety performance, and high power and energy density. Another important criterion when selecting new materials is their environmental impact and sustainability. To minimize the environmental impact, the material should be easy to recycle and re-use, and be …

Other anode materials have also generated interest. For example, silicon (Si) can reversibly alloy with Li at higher operating potentials than that of Li metal and even than that of graphite, thus preventing Li dendrite formation. Furthermore, Si anodes have Li storage capacities similar to that of Li metal.
Solid-state Li metal batteries that utilize a Li metal anode and a layered oxide or conversion cathode have the potential to almost double the specific energy of today''s state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries, which use a liquid electrolyte.

Batteries are perhaps the most prevalent and oldest forms of energy storage technology in human history. 4 Nonetheless, it was not until 1749 that the term "battery" was coined by Benjamin Franklin to describe several capacitors (known as Leyden jars, after the town in which it was discovered), connected in series. The term "battery" was presumably chosen …
