Rethinking Sustainable Batteries
Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 47, December 16, 2025.This perspective examines sustainability across the entire battery lifecycle, from mining and manufacturing to use and end of life. Twelve principles for ‘green’ batteries are outlined, and it is argued that joint industrial, academic, and policy efforts are essential to building a truly sustainable energy future. Abstract Batteries will play a pivotal

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.A neutrophilic Fe(II)‐oxidizing Gallionellaceae was isolated from circumneutral Cu mine drainage. It mediated Fe(III) biomineralization, resulting in pronounced Cu accumulation (up to 2 wt%) within the solid precipitates. ABSTRACT Geomicrobiology of copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in circumneutral‐pH drainage from a Japanese Cu mine was investigated, with a ...

Biomining of MoS2 with Peptide-based Smart Biomaterials [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractBiomining of valuable metals using a target specific approach promises increased purification yields and decreased cost. Target specificity can be implemented with proteins/peptides, the biological molecules, responsible from various structural and functional pathways in living organisms by virtue of their specific recognition abilities towards
