A Review of the Strategies Used in the Recovery and Passivation of Lead in Lead‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells: Balancing Device Efficiency, Toxicity, and Environmental Sustainability

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
Lead‐based perovskite solar cells deliver outstanding power conversion efficiencies, yet their commercialization is constrained by concerns over lead toxicity and stability challenges. Advanced encapsulation and chemical passivation techniques can significantly suppress lead leakage while improving long‐term device stability.

Review and Integrated Framework for Deep‐Sea Mineral Resources, Ecological Influence, and Future Development

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As global industrialization advances and land‐based resources decline, deep‐sea resource development is becoming increasingly vital. The deep sea is rich in minerals such as polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulfides, and cobalt‐rich crust. However, deep‐sea ecosystems and geochemical cycles can be severely impacted by extensive mineral mining.

Cytochromes in anaerobic growth of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

open access: yesMicrobiology, 2018
The mineral sulfide-oxidising Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been extensively studied over many years but some fundamental aspects of its metabolism remain uncertain, particularly with regard to its anaerobic oxidation of sulfur. This label-free, liquid chromatography-electron spray ionisation-mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis estimated ...
