However, critical challenges such as the ‘shuttle effect’ and mechanical instability resulting from volume expansions of sulfur-based electrodes impede their practical application. Recent developments primarily focus on carbon–sulfur composite cathodes, employing materials like graphene, albeit at high energy and cost. Innovative research explores sustainable carbonaceous materials from waste, such as recycled paper and cotton fabric, enhancing electrochemical performance but requiring costly activation and carbonization processes. In addressing these limitations, this study investigates using recycled graphite from spent Li-ion batteries as a sulfur host. We successfully modify graphite’s structure and functional groups by employing acid treatments with H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>:HNO<sub>3</sub> or methanesulfonic acid (MSA) to enhance polysulfide adsorption, reduce volume expansion, and mitigate the shuttle effect. Our approach bypasses traditional energy-intensive processes, highlighting the potential of upcycled materials for eco–friendly and cost-effective Li–S battery technologies, thus contributing to their sustainable advancement.</p><p >This research advances eco-friendly battery technology by recycling graphite from old batteries, reducing waste and environmental impact while enhancing the performance of lithium−sulfur batteries for sustainable energy storage.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1449–1457"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acssusresmgt.5c00206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the promising nickel sources is laterite ore, but the Mg-rich saprolite phase is rarely used as a battery material owing to its processing challenges. This study is the first to employ a hydrophobic diluted deep eutectic solvent (HDDES) for high-purity nickel recovery from saprolite. Diluting the DES reduces the inherently high viscosity, supporting faster leaching and improved ease of operation. The HDDES comprises a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of trialkylmethylammonium chloride and decanoic acid, which is diluted with Swasol 1800, an industrial diluting solvent. HCl loaded HDDES effectively suppressed Mg leaching while promoting efficient Ni leaching, and the HDDES exhibited high performance over five cycles. The metals in the HDDES were recovered by contacting with a water phase, and the Ni was further purified using alkaline solution, achieving 96.5% purity. HDDES is expected to serve as a novel leaching solvent in the field of metal refining, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional DESs.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1400–1406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For industries and environmental authorities, it is not viable to monitor each pollutant individually due to the complexity, cost, and time constraints involved in employing separate sensors or methods for each contaminant. To address this issue, we present the development of the first-of-its-kind, group-selective electrochemical sensors for the industrial-scale monitoring of <i>anionic</i> or <i>acid</i> dyes, a class of colored organic compounds that dissociate into anions in water, primarily sulfonated azo dyes. The electrochemical sensors employ vanadium-doped graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (V-gCN) and modified pencil graphite electrodes to provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution with high sensitivity and group selectivity. The 5%V-gCN sensor boasts superior electrochemical properties compared to both undoped gCN and 10% V-gCN sensors. The 5%V-gCN sensors show outstanding performance in detecting anionic dyes like erichrome black T (EBT), methyl orange (MO), and congo red (CR) in aqueous solutions, mixtures, and groundwater. These sensors deliver excellent reliability, high sensitivity (0.44–1.16 μA cm<sup>–2</sup> nM<sup>–1</sup>), and sub-nanomolar (< 1 nM) limit of detection. Group selectivity is demonstrated by testing cationic dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB). Moreover, the 5%V-gCN sensor exhibits excellent operational stability, reproducibility, and recyclability. This work demonstrates the potential of a 5%V-gCN sensor for environmental monitoring of anionic dyes and controlled release of industrial effluents to ensure water quality for future generations.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1363–1372"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Mo(VI) was used as a template, combined with PEG-600, epoxy resin, and hyperbranched polyamide-amine, and the adsorbent was prepared by precipitation polymerization. The polymer exhibits excellent recyclability, stability, and selectivity, aiming to efficiently remove trace molybdenum. Through scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), thermogravimetric (TG), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses and batch adsorption experiments, the structural characteristics of Mo(VI)-IIPs and their adsorption mechanism for Mo(VI) were deeply explored. The endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption was consistent with monolayer adsorption and a pseudo-second-order model, resulting in a maximum capacity of 104.35 mg/g.
