Round 1 Reviewer 1 Report The paper entitled ” Rechargeable concrete battery” deals with an important subject as it presents a possibility of using structures and buildings as energy
So, a recent report we just saw in the journal Buildings — which, in essence, says that concrete could be turned into rechargeable batteries — gave us quite a jolt.
In order to optimize electrochemical cells in a highly alkaline concrete environment, we identified the following metals that are suitable for rechargeable concrete batteries.
Despite Zn''s unsuitability as a concrete battery anode, the initial battery shows a viable energy density of 7 Wh/m2 or 0.8 Wh/L. This indicated the potential for large-scale implementation in
Researchers have developed a world-first concept for a rechargeable cement-based battery that could see large structures constructed from functional
This study presents the development and characterization of rechargeable cement-based solid-state nickel‑iron batteries designed for the energy storage of self-powered buildings. The
