Characterization and Reuse of Lithium‐ion Battery Cathode Material Recovered Through a Bacterial Process

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 46, December 9, 2025.
A sustainable bacteria‐based lithium‐ion battery cathode recycling method is optimized using engineering biology. The resulting biomineralized manganese carbonate species is found to be easily converted into an electrode material, via simple calcination.

Micro-Tomographic Investigation of a North-Western Pacific Polymetallic Nodule

open access: yesQuaternary
Micro-computed tomography (μCT) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) were used to investigate a Polymetallic Nodule (PN) from the North-Western Pacific abyssal plain to gather more information concerning the environmental changes that could be reflected by the ...

Rethinking Sustainable Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced 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

Experimental seabed disturbance effects on Chatham Rise deep‐sea meiofaunal communities, Southwest Pacific

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1388-1421, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Growing global demand for deep‐sea resources may lead to increased pressure on benthic ecosystems. Here we examined changes in meiofaunal communities following an in situ physical disturbance experiment. A significant change in meiofaunal community structure in surface (0‐1 cm) and subsurface (1‐5 cm) sediments was observed immediately ...

Ultra-microbes are the minerogenetic constructors of oceanic polymetallic nodules

open access: yesChinese Science Bulletin, 1997
Polymetallic nodules (mangnese nodules) are a typical kind of manganese oncdites. The distribution of smooth surface and knobbly mangaree nodules is cloyely related to the geological background of the mine field. A systematic study on their inner laminae structure and features suggests that they are the products of millions of years reproduction and ...

Study on Travel Path Planning of Deep-Sea Nodule Collector During Collection Operation

open access: yesHaiyang Kaifa yu guanli
Polymetallic nodules are a current focus in the development of deep-sea mineral resources. The mining process requires nodule collectors to travel over large areas on the seafloor for nodule harvesting, and the travel path has significant impacts on both

Beyond the plains: deep-sea mining of polymetallic nodules on and around seamounts

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Deep-sea mining management, scientific research, and public discourse have largely focused on polymetallic nodule extraction from abyssal plains. However, there is growing commercial interest in nodules on and around seamounts, with exploration and ...

Macrobenthic communities in the polymetallic nodule field, Indian Ocean, based on multicore and box core analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Managing deep-sea mining is challenging due to limited data on species and habitat distribution, hindering decision-making. In less-explored polymetallic nodule sites in the Indian Ocean, management approaches are deemed unfeasible due to a substantial ...
