Summary: The increasing demand for metals and the depletion of primary metallic resources pose significant environmental and societal challenges. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is increasing globally, with end-of-life electronic wastes containing valuable metals and harmful substances. Proper management and recycling of spent Li ion batteries is crucial to address environmental complications and promote sustainable resource management. Microbial technologies show promise in removing metal ions from WEEE with less cost and no addition of toxic chemicals, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional methods. Biohydrometallurgy practices for leaching critical metals from waste lithium ion batteries and biotechnological methods for recovering these metals from aqueous streams are important areas of research in this field.

Summary: The study investigated a functional beverage made with suspended gel beads containing Jujube extract as a source of phenolic compounds, whey protein isolate, and chickpea protein concentrate. Three types of beads were used, with different combinations of sodium alginate, insoluble fraction of Persian gum, whey protein isolate, and pea protein concentrate. The evaluation included various parameters such as pH, acidity, Brix, turbidity, viscosity, and sensory properties. The results showed that beverages with chickpea and alginate/IFPG beads had the highest viscosity, while there was an inverse relationship between spindle round and viscosity. Alginate/IFPG/PPC beads showed the highest turbidity on the 14th day, and the resulting beverages had good sensory properties.

Summary: The effect of different extraction methods on the emulsifying and foaming aspects of galactomannan from Gleditsia caspica seed was comprehensively investigated. Increasing galactomannan concentration and utilizing ultrasound or microwave extraction significantly improved the emulsifying capacity, stability, zeta potential, and foaming stability. However, foaming capacity, z-average, and PDI decreased. Various parameters, including M/G ratio, molecular weight, viscosity, protein content, and hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature, influenced the emulsifying and foaming features. Ultrasound or microwave extraction reduced the surface tension reduction ability of galactomannan from 83.11 mN/m (for air/water interface) to 54.17, 50.54, and 52.14 mN/m for different extraction methods.

Summary: This article presents the results of a systematic study on the electrochemical performance and mechanical changes in two types of commercial batteries with different anode chemistry. The study reveals that the swelling of anode layers in batteries with silicon-based components causes deformations in the jelly roll structure, but the presence of a small percentage of silicon does not significantly impact the cycling performance of the cells within the relevant state-of-health range for electric vehicles (EVs). The research suggests that there is room for improving the cell capacities by increasing the silicon loading in composite anodes to meet the increasing demands on EVs.

Summary: By coupling electrochemical testing to operando synchrotron based X-ray absorption and powder diffraction experiments, blended positive electrodes consisting of LiMn2O4 spinel (LMO) and layered LiNi0.5Mn0.3Co0.2O2 (NMC) were studied to understand their redox mechanism. It was found that blending NMC with LMO can enhance energy density at high rates, with the blend containing 25% LMO showing the best performance. Testing with a special electrochemical setup revealed that the effective current load on each blend component can vary significantly from the nominal rate and also changes with SoC. Operando studies allowed monitoring of the oxidation state evolution and changes in crystal structure, in line with the expected behavior of individual components considering their electrochemical current loads.
