Summary: Ga2O3 is widely used as anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, it has limited electronic conductivity and severe volume expansion, which restrict its application. In this study, Ga2O3 nanospheres were coated with carbon to improve overall electrochemical performance. The carbon coating treatment not only shortened ion transmission path and improved cycle stability but also provided abundant lithium-ion storage space, resulting in high pseudocapacitive storage characteristics.

Summary: Responsible disposal of scrapped lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial for addressing global electronic waste issues. This study proposes an eco-friendly one-step technology to convert spent graphite (SG) in LIBs to nitrogen-doped defect-enriched graphite (NG) using an NH4Cl roasting strategy. The recycling technique eliminates the need for leaching by acids or water, making it free of complicated separation processes. Experimental results show that this strategy removes impurities and introduces defects into the graphite matrix, resulting in improved Li+ storage and cycling stability. The NG exhibits superior charge capacity and rate performance compared to SG and commercial natural flake graphite (CG). Overall, this study offers significant progress in the recycling technology of graphite anodes and contributes to the sustainable development of LIBs.

Summary: A recent study found that aromatic DBP fractions are the main contributors to the toxicity of chlorinated drinking water. However, the key drivers of toxicity based on the formation of aliphatic and aromatic DBPs in drinking water have not been comprehensively evaluated. This study explored the occurrence of various aliphatic and aromatic DBPs in drinking water samples from a Chinese megacity. The findings suggest that haloacetonitriles and halonitrophenols are the main toxicity drivers among the measured aliphatic and aromatic DBPs, respectively.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
