Autonomous Solar Metallurgy for High‐Purity Gold Recovery from Electronic Waste
Inspired by microbial strategies for metal uptake and biomineralization, defect‐rich copper sulfide (Cu31S16) functions as a solar metallurgical platform that unifies Au(III) capture, reduction, and self‐separation. The bioinspired design enables ultrafast gold recovery from electronic‐waste leachates and the spontaneous formation of millimeter‐scale ...

A Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST) system combining a scalable norbornadiene–quadricyclane photoswitch, a biodegradable solvent, propylene carbonate, and noble and first‐row metal catalysts, is presented. Propylene carbonate boosts photoisomerization quantum yield by 25% compared to toluene, prolongs energy storage by an additional 15 days, and enables ...

A recycling approach of spent lithium‐ion batteries is developed using brewing wastewater as the leaching agent and an engineering microbial consortium as the biocatalyst. Shewanella oneidensis reduces spent LiNixCoyMn1‐x‐yO2 cathodes via extracellular electron transfer, while Bacillus subtilis removes residual ethanol to eliminate inhibition.
