| Abstract | As one common industrial waste liquid, waste copper (Cu) etchant can seriously pollute the environment if it is unreasonably managed. Herein, tetrahedron-like copper (I) chloride (CuCl) crystals were extracted from waste copper etchant by way of facile electrodeposition, and the effect of the electrodeposition time on the lithium (Li)-storage capacity of the copper (I) chloride crystal was further investigated. The results showed that the copper (I) chloride crystal had a regular tetrahedral morphology, and the density of the regular tetrahedral particles gradually increased with the extension of the electrodeposition time from 5 to 15, 20 and 25 s. Correspondingly, the reversible lithium-storage capacity of the copper (I) chloride anode experienced an initial increase and a subsequent decrease. In detail, when cycling at 2 C for 250 cycles, the reversible discharge capacity of the copper (I) chloride anode increased from 187.3 mAh/g at 5 s to 284.5 mAh/g at 15 s and then decreased to 191.9 mAh/g at 20 s and to 125.3 mAh/g at 25 s, indicating that 15 s may be the most optimal electrodeposition time. Excessive copper (I) chloride particles may result in poor performance due to the poor inherent conductivity of copper (I) chloride. Such efforts would alleviate environmental pollution and facilitate the circular economy of wastes. |
