"uses highly tunable, abundant, and cost-effective raw materials... waste-derived carbon materials as the host for metal anodes could significantly reduce alkali metal usage per battery... can modify the composition of the food... could take the proteins and lipids out, along with some of the minerals, to see how it impacts battery performance... the essential compounds of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin after thermal treatment could sufficiently work for a battery"
