Lithium Harvesting from the Most Abundant Primary and Secondary Sources: A Comparative Study on Conventional and Membrane Technologies. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12040373. [PMID: 35448344 PMCID: PMC9025773 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12040373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The exponential rise in lithium demand over the last decade, as one of the largest sources for energy storage in terms of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), has posed a great threat to the existing lithium supply and demand balance. The current methodologies available for lithium extraction, separation and recovery, both from primary (brines/seawater) and secondary (LIBs) sources, suffer not only at the hands of excessive use of chemicals but complicated, time-consuming and environmentally detrimental design procedures. Researchers across the world are working to review and update the available technologies for lithium harvesting in terms of their economic and feasibility analysis. Following its excessive consumption of sustainable energy resources, its demand has risen sharply and therefore requires urgent attention. In this paper, different available methodologies for lithium extraction and recycling from the most abundant primary and secondary lithium resources have been reviewed and compared. This review also includes the prospects of using membrane technology as a promising replacement for conventional methods.

Abstract
The genus Paraconiothyrium has worldwide distribution with diverse host habitats and exhibits potential utilisation as biocontrol agent, bioreactor and antibiotic producer. In this review, we firstly comprehensively summarise the current taxonomic status of Paraconiothyrium species, including their category names, morphological features, habitats, and multigene phylogenetic relationships. Some Paraconiothyrium species possess vital biological functions and potential applications in medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental protection. A total of 147 secondary metabolites have been reported so far from Paraconiothyrium, among which 95 are novel. This paper serves to provide an overview of their diverse structures with chemical classification and biological activities. To date, 27 species of Paraconiothyrium have been documented; however, only seven have been investigated for their secondary metabolites or biological functions. Our review is expected to draw more attention to this genus for providing a taxonomic reference, discovering extensive biological functions, and searching in-depth for new bioactive natural products.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are highly attractive for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, stimuli-responsive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties and capability to modulate the hypoxic tumour microenvironment (TME). However, conventional MnO2 NPs do not possess photothermal therapy (PTT) functions except for hybrids with other photothermal materials. Herein, we first reveal the extraordinary photothermal conversion efficiency (44%) of enzymatically synthesised MnO2 NPs (Bio-MnO2 NPs), which are distinct from chemically synthesised MnO2 NPs. In addition, the Bio-MnO2 NPs revealed high thermal recycling stability and solubility as well as dual pH- and reduction-responsive MRI enhancement for tumour theragnosis. These NPs were prepared through a facile MnxEFG enzyme-mediated biomineralization process. The MnxEFG complex from Bacillus sp. PL-12 is the only manganese mineralization enzyme that could be heterologously overexpressed in its active form to achieve Bio-MnO2 NPs without a bacterial host. The hexagonal layer symmetry of the Bio-MnO2 NPs is the key feature facilitating the high photothermal conversion efficiency and TME-responsive T1-weighted MRI. Evaluations both in vitro at the cellular level and in vivo in a systematic tumour-bearing mouse xenograft model demonstrated the high photothermal ablation efficacy of the Bio-MnO2 NPs, which achieved complete tumour eradication with high therapeutic biosafety without obvious reoccurrence. Moreover, stimuli-responsive MR enhancement potentially allows imaging-guided precision PTT. With their excellent biocompatibility, mild synthesis conditions and relatively simple composition, Bio-MnO2 NPs hold great translational promise.

Abstract
The biotemplate and bioconversion strategy represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to material manufacturing. In the current study, biogenic manganese oxide aggregates of the Mn2+-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp. T34 were used as a precursor to synthesize a biocomposite that incorporated Co (CMC-Co) under mild shake-flask conditions based on the biomineralization process of biogenic Mn oxides and the characteristics of metal ion subsidies. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, phase composition and fine structure analyses demonstrated that hollow MnO/C/Co3O4 multiphase composites were fabricated after high-temperature annealing of the biocomposites at 800°C. The cycling and rate performance of the prepared anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were compared. Due to the unique hollow structure and multiphasic state, the reversible discharge capacity of CMC-Co remained at 650 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles at a current density of 0.1 Ag-1, and the coulombic efficiency remained above 99% after the second cycle, indicating a good application potential as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Metal oxides with the hollow microstructure by the facile synthetic strategy are hopeful in applications for photocatalysis, supercapacitor, and gas sensor owing to their large surface areas, porosity ratio and rich active sites. In this work, indium oxide porous hollow rods (In2O3 PHRs) are successfully prepared using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the template. The morphology of In2O3 PHRs is hexagonal hollow micro-rods with a porous structure. The investigation on the gas-sensing performance reveals that the In2O3 PHRs sensor displays outstanding sensitivity and selectivity toward 10 ppm chlorine gas (Cl2) at low operational temperature (160 °C). Furthermore, the In2O3 PHRs sensor displays a low detection limit (3.2 ppb) and short response and recovery time (38/13 s). The unique morphology and abundant oxygen vacancies are conduced to the excellent gas-sensing activities, which is benefited from the utilization and decomposition of In-MOFs precursor. In addition, the gas sensing mechanism of reducing gases and oxidizing gases is deduced in detail for the In2O3 PHRs sensor.

Abstract
Microorganisms in nature have been suggested as effective synthetic platform for functional materials construction. In this study, we cultured a typical white rot fungus of Phanerochaete chrysosporium in iron-containing medium to obtain iron-rich biomass, serving as sole precursor for magnetic biocarbon synthesis. The accumulated iron in biomass reached to 4.6 wt%. After carbonization and activation, microporous magnetic biocarbon (Fe/BC) with high specific surface area of 1986 m2 g-1 was obtained. When applied as adsorbent for a model pharmaceutical (diclofenac sodium, DCF) removal from aqueous solution, a high adsorption capacity of 361.25 mg g-1 was found for the developed Fe/BC. Systematic isotherm, kinetic, thermodynamic and recycle studies were conducted to investigate adsorption behaviors of DCF onto Fe/BC. This work not only provides a novel strategy for magnetic biocarbon construction, but also envisions new perspective on the utilization of a variety of microorganisms in nature for functional materials preparation.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanoparticles on living biotemplate surfaces is a promising route to fabricate nano- or microstructured materials with high efficiency and efficacy. We used filamentous fungi to fabricate microtubules of gold nanoparticles through a novel approach that consists of isolating the hyphal growth from the nanoparticle media. This improved methodology resulted in better morphological control and faster adsorption kinetics, which reduced the time needed to form homogeneous microtubules and allowed for control of microtubule thickness through successive additions of nanoparticles. Differences in the adsorption rates due to modifications in the chemical identity of colloidal gold nanoparticles indicated the influence of secondary metabolites and growth media in the fungi metabolism, which demonstrated the need to choose not only the fungus biotemplate but also the correct medium to obtain microtubules with superior properties.
