Lithium-ion batteries are known for their high efficiency for storing electrical energy, especially for hybrid vehicles. In this research, the development of mixture composites in the cathode electrode of LIBs has been discussed and designed based on...
Twenty-eight samples of {[(1-x-y) LiCo0.3Cu0.7](Al and Mg doped)]O2}, xLi2MnO3, and yLiCoO2 composites were synthesized using the sol–gel method. Stoichiometric weights of LiNO3, Mn(Ac)2⋅4H2O, Co(Ac)2⋅4H2O, Al(NO3)3.H2o, Mg(NO3)2&sdot...
The removal of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209), as a typical persistent organic pollutant (POP), is of worldwide concern. Mechanochemical (MC) processes are promising methods to degrade environmental pollutants, most of which use a single grinding...
With the rapid increase in production of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and environmental issues arising around the world, cathode materials, as the key component of all LIBs, especially need to be environmentally sustainable. However, a variety of lif...
In this paper, the application of recycled Li-ion battery spent cathodes (LIB-SC) combined with a NaHCO3/H2O2 system is presented for the first time in the literature as an alternative for the degradation of potentially toxic organic molecules. The m...
Toxicity, emissions and structural damage results on lithium-ion battery (LIB) thermal runaway triggered by the electrothermal method were performed in this work. The electrothermal triggering method was determined to study the thermal runaway behavi...
A challenge in developing high-performance lithium batteries requires a safe technology without flammable liquid electrolytes. Nowadays, two options can satisfy this claim: all-solid-state batteries and aqueous-electrolyte batteries. Commercially ava...
Lithium manganite, Li2MnO3, is an attractive cathode material for rechargeable lithium ion batteries due to its large capacity, low cost and low toxicity. We employed well-established atomistic simulation techniques to examine defect processes, favou...
Catalytic oxidation is widely recognized as a highly effective approach for eliminating highly toxic CO. The current challenge lies in designing catalysts that possess exceptional low-temperature activity and stability. In this work, we have prepared...
Deep eutectic solvents are widely employed in the recycling and reuse of spent lithium-ion battery cathode materials because of their non-toxicity, low cost, and recyclability. Although DESs have a high recovery rate for metals and are more environme...
Aquaculture systems face escalating ecological risks due to the widespread use and persistence of antibiotics, which disrupt microbial-mediated nitrogen cycling and exacerbate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This review synthesizes the recent researc...
We report two complexes [Cu(LI)2] (1) and [Cu(LII)2] (2) (HLI = N-cyclohexyl-3-methoxysalicylideneimine, HLII = N-cyclohexyl-3-ethoxysalicylideneimine). The ligands in both complexes are trans-1,5-N,O-coordinated, yielding a square planar CuN2O2 coor...
In the wake of global energy transition and the “dual-carbon” goal, the rapid growth of electric vehicles has posed challenges for large-scale lithium-ion battery decommissioning. Retired batteries exhibit dual attributes of strategic res...
Lithium-ion batteries have led the revolution in portable electronic devices and electrical vehicles due to their high gravimetric energy density. In particular, layered cathode material Li(Ni0.6Mn0.2Co0.2)O2 (NMC 622) can deliver high specific capac...
To improve the working conditions in underground mines and eliminate the risk of human casualties, patrol robots that can operate autonomously are necessary. This study developed an autonomous patrol robot for underground mines and conducted field ex...
Countries like Saudi Arabia receive abundant sunshine with exceptionally high solar irradiance. High temperatures in desert regions and the sunray angle dependence of solar modules are some of the key challenges of conventional solar cells. Dye-sensi...
