Efficient metal recovery and electrocatalyst fabrication from spent lithium-ion batteries via green solvent extraction
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC00073D, PaperMingfei Chen, Yaping Wang, Yixin Zhou, Bin Guo, Li Wang, Jinsheng Liang
A novel method converts spent LiNi1−x−yCoxMnyO2 cathodes into nickel cobalt sulfide catalysts via deep eutectic solvents and sulfidation. The hollow nanorod arrays with rich active sites and hydrophilicity exhibit superior OER performance.

Sequential single-enzyme oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid by an engineered lanthanide-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC00157A, PaperKe Liu, Ling Jiang, Lun Wang, Qunfeng Zhang, Lirong Yang, Jianping Wu, Haoran Yu
A lanthanide-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, PedH, was identified, which possessed the rare ability to continuously oxidize HMF to produce FDCA. A fully automated workflow was developed to modify PedH, resulting in an increased yield of FDCA.
