Work extraction protocol is always a significant issue in the context of quantum batteries, in which the notion of ergotropy is used to quantify a particular amount of energy that can be extracted through unitary processes. Given the total amount of energy stored in a quantum system, quantifying wasted energy after the ergotropy extraction is a question to be considered when undesired coupling with thermal reservoirs is taken into account. In this paper, we show that some amount of energy can be lost when we extract ergotropy from a quantum system and quantified by the exergy of passive states. Through a particular example, one shows that ergotropy extraction can be done by preserving the quantum correlations of a quantum system. Our study opens the perspective for new advances in open system quantum batteries able to explore exergy stored as quantum correlations.

Quantum batteries are energy-storing devices, governed by quantum mechanics, that promise high charging performance thanks to collective effects. Because of its experimental feasibility, the Dicke battery-which comprises N two-level systems coupled to a common photon mode-is one of the most promising designs for quantum batteries. However, the chaotic nature of the model severely hinders the extractable energy (ergotropy).

Ergotropy is defined as the maximum amount of work that can be extracted through a unitary cyclic evolution. It plays a crucial role in assessing the work capacity of a quantum system. Recently, the significance of quantum coherence in work extraction has been theoretically identified, revealing that quantum states with more coherence possess more ergotropy compared to their dephased counterparts.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a key issue in quantum thermodynamics: determining how much work can be extracted from systems that are not in equilibrium, focusing on the differences between closed and open systems.
- It introduces the concept of extended local ergotropy, which improves upon local ergotropy by ensuring it doesn't decrease over time and can enhance work extraction potential.
- The paper presents practical examples, particularly using the Jaynes-Cummings model, to demonstrate effective methods that support these new insights and techniques.

Ergotropy, which represents the maximum amount of work that can be extracted from a quantum system, has become a focal point of interest in the fields of quantum thermodynamics and information processing. In practical scenarios, the interaction of quantum systems with their surrounding environment is unavoidable. Recent studies have increasingly focused on analyzing open quantum systems affected by non-stationary environmental fluctuations due to their significant impact on various physical scenarios.

In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of entropic uncertainty relations (EURs) in discerning the energy variation in quantum batteries (QBs) modelled by battery-charger field in the presence of bosonic and fermionic reservoirs. Our results suggest that the extractable works (exergy and ergotropy) have versatile characteristics in different scenarios, resulting in a complex relationship between tightness and extractable work. It is worth noting that the tightness of the lower bound of entropic uncertainty can be a good indicator for energy conversion efficiency in charging QBs.
