“…The adoption of eco-friendly factors in the process will maximize the resource efficiency based on the fact that firms and nations which are able to save their limited resources and conduct activities to save their resources will boost their societal development [53]. Therefore, this research advocates that eco-innovation has the potential for sustainable and societal development, which can be verified by the finding from [54] that innovation enhances and strengthens sustainable societal development.…”

Eco-innovation has gained considerable attention in academia as well as in industry due to its potential in mitigating environmental challenges and its positive correlation with firm performance. However, there are limited studies which have investigated the moderating relation of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015 between eco-innovation and firm sustainability in their contribution to societal development. This research is supported by a resource-based theory which explores the core-competencies of firms and challenges the resources creating the competitive advantage of the firm without compromising on the social responsibility aspect of the firm. This study proposes a fishbone eco-innovation business model, which includes production (product, process, and technology) and non-production (organization and marketing) business activities mapped with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for societal development. This fishbone eco-innovation business model signals to the stakeholders about the organization’s innovation in their green implementation, which goes beyond mere compliance. The contribution of the fishbone eco-innovation business model to societal development will create a unique competitive edge and green goodwill amongst the external stakeholders, which will attract sustainably responsible investors for investment. This article draws propositions and develops a conceptual model for future empirical research on eco-innovation and societal development.

“…The Al-S battery delivered a promising performance, including an initial capacity above 1500 mAh g −1 and capacity retention of 500 mAh g −1 for 60 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . Furthermore, Zhang's group recently developed a novel series of organic electrolytes, including AlCl 3 / imidazole hydrochloride (imidazoleHCl), 229 AlCl 3 /benzyltriethylammonium chloride (TEBAC), 230 and AlCl 3 /caprolactam (CPL), 231 for Al-graphite batteries to achieve high-rate capability and long-term cyclability. Interestingly, when an appropriate amount (9.5%) of urea was added to form an AlCl 3 / urea/CPL system, the specific capacity could be increased from 138 to 161 mAh g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 .…”

For significantly increasing the energy densities to satisfy the growing demands, new battery materials and electrochemical chemistry beyond conventional rocking-chair based Li-ion batteries should be developed urgently. Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) with the features of low cost, high safety, easy fabrication, environmental friendliness, and long cycling life have gained increasing attention. Although there are pronounced advantages of utilizing earth-abundant Al metals as negative electrodes for high energy density, such RAB technologies are still in the preliminary stage and considerable efforts will be made to further promote the fundamental and practical issues. For providing a full scope in this review, we summarize the development history of Al batteries and analyze the thermodynamics and electrode kinetics of nonaqueous RABs. The progresses on the cutting-edge of the nonaqueous RABs as well as the advanced characterizations and simulation technologies for understanding the mechanism are discussed. Furthermore, major challenges of the critical battery components and the corresponding feasible strategies toward addressing these issues are proposed, aiming to guide for promoting electrochemical performance (high voltage, high capacity, large rate capability, and long cycling life) and safety of RABs. Finally, the perspectives for the possible future efforts in this field are analyzed to thrust the progresses of the state-of-the-art RABs, with expectation of bridging the gap between laboratory exploration and practical applications.

“…Unfortunately, the caveat of high cost in most cases has hindered the commercial application of AIBs. Hence, a series of work have been performed to reduce the cost of electrolytes. ,, Dai et al developed rechargeable AIBs, using IL analogue electrolytes based on urea, which is a superior compound, in terms of cost (∼50 times less expensive than EMIC) . The existence of AlCl 4 – , Al 2 Cl 7 – , and [AlCl 2 (urea) n ] + in the AlCl 3 /urea electrolyte was validated by Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).…”
