As global reliance on lithium-ion batteries depends heavily on rapidly depleting raw materials such as lithium and cobalt, the urgency for alternative solutions has never been more pronounced. Decreased availability of these vital resources has resulted in supply-chain disruptions and heightened environmental concerns. With millions of used batteries improperly disposed of, leading to considerable wastage

Effective power grounding systems are essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of critical electrical subsystem infrastructure, particularly in substations. These systems play a crucial role in providing a low-resistance path for electrical fault currents to flow into the earth, thereby preventing electrical shocks, fires, and damage to vital equipment. Soil resistivity is a key
