With the wide usage of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid storage, recycling reusing LIBs have attracted attention. However, due to low added value rigorous separation steps, recovering graphite anode materials are discarded. Although some direct physical processes been reported, all them limited by steps lab scales. In this paper, a scalable process for from spent hydrometallurgical without is reported. After leaching process, was separated...
Abstract Tumor antigens released from tumor cells after local photothermal therapy (PTT) can activate the tumor‐specific immune responses, which are critical for eliminating residual lesions and distant metastases. However, limited recognition efficiency of by system immunosuppressive microenvironment lead to ineffective antitumor immunity. Here, an in situ multifunctional vaccine based on bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs, 1‐MT@OMV‐Mal) is developed surface conjunction maleimide...
The lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling market is becoming increasingly important because of the widespread use LIBs in every aspect our lives. Mobile devices and electric cars represent largest application areas for LIBs. Vigorous innovation these sectors spurring continuous deployment LIB powered devices, consequently more will become waste as they approach end life. Considering significant economic environmental impacts, not only necessary, but also urgent. WPI group has successfully...
Many recycling processes have been developed for spent Li-ion batteries (LIBs), such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and direct recycling. For all the methods, however, impurities are always introduced from current collectors or casing materials, especially aluminum (Al), which might lead to negative effects on recovered electrode materials. Therefore, it is significant determine impacts of Al impurity Here, influence synthesized LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM622) precursor cathode...
P2-type sodium-manganese-based layered cathodes, owing to their high capacity from both cationic and anionic redox, are a potential candidate for Na-ion batteries (NIBs) replace Li-ion technology in certain applications. Still, the structure instability originating irreversible oxygen redox at voltage remains challenge. Here, sustainability cobalt-free P2-Na0.72 Mn0.75 Li0.24 X0.01 O2 (X = Ti/Si) cathode is developed. The outstanding retention after 150 cycles obtained half-cells. finding...
Abstract The skyrocketing demands for electric vehicles cause large quantities of spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and pressure on the global supply chain, leading to raw materials shortages cost increases. In LIBs, LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMC) cathodes are one major cathode materials. Thus, recycling NMC from is emerging because they contain abundant valuable materials, which can be considered unique “mineral” sources. Impurities main concerns introducing recovered back into new battery...
A promising lithium recovery process was developed to selectively leach and recover before recycling valuable metals; it provides new opportunities for sustainable of LIBs economical restoration the supply chain.
For environmental and sustainability reasons, spent Li-ion batteries must be recovered recycled so that the full promise of an electrified future is realized. battery recycling streams pose a serious challenge to all existing technologies because their unknown diverse chemistry. In work described in this paper, four representative were used demonstrate flexibility process developed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) accommodate variable feed generate consistent quality cathode...

Abstract With the limited resources and high cost of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) ever‐increasing market demands, sodium‐ion (SIBs) gain much interest due to their economical sustainability, similar chemistry manufacturing processes LIBs. As cathodes play a vital role in determining energy density SIBs, Mn‐based layered oxides are promising low cost, environmental friendliness, theoretical capacity. However, main challenge is structural instability upon cycling at voltage. Herein, Mg...
Despite recent advances in cancer therapy, the overall 5-year survival rate of patients with lung remains low. The aim our study was to search for novel markers early diagnosis cancer. Complementary DNA microarray analysis performed primary adenocarcinomas and cell lines differentially expressed genes, followed by vivo vitro tumorigenic assays characterize oncogenic potential candidate genes.
