Toward Sustainable Spent Cathode Recycling Technology: Failure Mechanism, Advancing Technology and Prospect

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The cathode materials from spent batteries are expected to become a resource stream rich in critical metals, drawing increasing attention to the disposal and recycling of spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). However, due to current technological limitations, the recycling efficiency and environmental sustainability of LIBs still face ...

Acetogenic Methane‐Carbon Monoxide Comproportionation: An Exergonic but Unobserved Microbial Metabolism

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Microbial metabolism relies on redox reactions that exploit chemical disequilibria. While aerobic carbon oxidation, carbon fixation, and fermentation are well studied, the broader space of anaerobic carbon redox reactions remains underexplored.

Comparative genomic analysis of carbon and nitrogen assimilation mechanisms in three indigenous bioleaching bacteria: predictions and validations

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Carbon and nitrogen fixation are essential pathways for autotrophic bacteria living in extreme environments. These bacteria can use carbon dioxide directly from the air as their sole carbon source and can use different sources of nitrogen such

A Comprehensive Review of Adsorbents for Rare Earth Separation: Design, Synthesis, Adsorption Performance, and Mechanisms

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industry. However, due to the highly similar physicochemical properties among REEs, their separation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, REEs often exist in low‐concentration solutions, making efficient REE recovery an urgent task.
