- Abstract:
- ... With the increasing consumption of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in electric and electronic products, the recycling of spent LIBs has drawn significant attention due to their high potential of environmental impacts and waste of valuable resources. Among different types of spent LIBs, the difficulties for recycling spent LiFePO₄ batteries rest on their relatively low extraction efficiency and recycl ...

- Abstract:
- ... Heteroatom-doped lamellar-structured carbon with a high surface area synthesized from alfalfa leaves is utilized as a cathode catalyst in this study to improve the power output of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Different chemical activation agents are used to treat alfalfa leaf-derived carbon (ALC). It is found that chemical activation agents substantially affect the catalytic activities of the alfa ...

- Abstract:
- ... The underlying toxicities of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and lead (Pb) and their toxic effects pose a serious threat to the ecosystem and human beings. As a serious pollutant released from electronic waste, Pb–HBCD has a strong toxic effect on the soil–plant ecosystem. Under Pb–HBCD stress, plant cells produce large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause severe oxidative damage. H ...
