  • A small team of materials engineers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, working with Wuliangye, a manufacturer of baijiu, has developed a carbon-source anode using baijiu sediment for use in a sodium-ion battery.

The article from MSN discusses an innovative approach to recycling waste from the production of Baijiu, a traditional Chinese liquor, into a valuable resource for energy storage. Researchers have developed a method to convert the sediment left over from Baijiu distillation into an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. This process not only addresses the environmental issue of waste disposal but also contributes to the advancement of battery technology. The sediment, rich in carbon, is transformed through a series of chemical treatments into a high-performance anode, which could potentially offer a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries. This breakthrough could have significant implications for both the liquor industry and the renewable energy sector, promoting a circular economy by turning waste into a useful product.
