Ideas for a battery 100% recyclable and non-polluting

[Forhorse]

Here is an aluminum / air battery to be made even with some items available to all:

It's not a battery they make there, but a simple battery.

In France there is a company working on it: http://www.metalectrique.com/technology.html

it is quoted in wikipedia.
It looks interesting as a way of storing electrical energy.

Does anyone know how to recycle aluminum hydroxide? it's electrolysis?
What is the energy balance of recycling?

Sorry Forhorse!

Here in Quebec we mistakenly call battery> battery.

You don't have to be sorry because drums are also a misnomer. The correct term being "accumulator"
The word battery means grouping of several devices, so you can have both a battery pack and a battery of batteries.
But it is true that in France when it says battery, it concerns in 99.9% of cases a battery.

Indeed, the CNRS has deposited in 2006 a patent No. WO 0163028 for the spinning of NTC.

After a lot of research,
Al-Air batteries are not rechargeable, and the recycling of aluminum hydroxide does not seem to be done very simply, at least locally.

There would be the battery Zinc-Air which is rechargeable but less powerful than that in allu.

The top of the top would be the carbon-air ... potentially 100X more than the current batteries. I do not remember if it's rechargeable.
