Opportunities and Challenges for Organic Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage.
TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of all reported cell configurations that involve electroactive organic compounds working either in the solid state or in solution for aqueous or nonaqueous electrolytes and highlights the most promising systems based on such various chemistries.

E-waste in the international context – A review of trade flows, regulations, hazards, waste management strategies and technologies for value recovery
I.M.S.K. Ilankoon,Yousef Ghorbani,Meng Nan Chong,Gamini Herath,Thandazile Moyo,Jochen Petersen +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that given the breadth of available technologies, a more systematic evaluation of the entire e-waste value chain needs to be conducted with a view to establishing integrated management of this resource at the appropriately local rather than global scale.

Recovery of lithium and cobalt from spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using organic acids as leaching reagents: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided an overview of the recent status of the recycling technologies of spent lithium ion batteries using organic acids, and the benefits and drawbacks of using them are summarized and possible complexes formed by these agents are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery of precious metals from electronic waste and spent catalysts: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of various technologies on the recovery of precious metals from e-waste and spent catalysts is provided, which shows that recycling technologies have been significantly improved in recent years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geopolitics of renewable energy: Debunking four emerging myths
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the risk of geopolitical competition over critical materials for renewable energy is limited, and the resource curse as we know it from the petroleum sector will not necessarily reappear in many countries in connection with renewable energy.

Recycling of rare earths: a critical review
Koen Binnemans,Peter Tom Jones,Bart Blanpain,Tom Van Gerven,Yongxiang Yang,Allan Walton,Matthias Buchert +6 more
TL;DR: The state of the art in preprocessing of End-of-life materials containing rare-earth elements (REEs) and the final recovery is discussed in detail in this article, where the relevance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for REE recycling is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
A literature review and a case study of sustainable supply chains with a focus on metrics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the literature on sustainable supply chains during the last decade; 2000-2010; and provide frameworks for sustainable supply chain management and performance measures, and also provide a case study to illustrate the experience of a utility supply chain in setting performance indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
How are WEEE doing? A global review of the management of electrical and electronic wastes
TL;DR: Global amounts of WEEE will continue unabated for some time due to emergence of new technologies and affordable electronics; informal recycling in developing nations has the potential of making a valuable contribution if their operations can be changed with strict safety standards as a priority.
