Article Abstract
Currently, a large amount of discarded liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are being produced, and the improper treatment of discarded LCDs causes serious environmental pollution problems. Indium is the most valuable metal in LCDs and is present in such devices at a concentration of over 0.025%. In this study, the bioleaching of indium from end-of-life LCD panels was comprehensively investigated through three methods: S-mediated pathway, Fe-mediated pathway and Mixed pathway of S- and Fe-mediated, which yielded maximum bioleaching efficiencies of approximately 100%, 0% and 78%, respectively. Microbial community analysis showed that the dominant functional bacteria under the S-mediated pathway were Acidithiobacillus. The Acidithiobacillus genus catalysed the leaching of indium, which was mainly achieved by indirect bioleaching. In addition, the microorganisms can secrete enzymes and extracellular polymeric substances, which also contributed to the leaching of indium. Therefore, this work provides an economical and efficient biological method for future research and practical applications in indium recovery from solid waste.

In this study, a bifunctional deep eutectic solvent (DES), consisting of choline chloride (ChCl) and oxalic acid dihydrate (OAD), is introduced for the efficient and eco-friendly recovery of indium (In) from indium tin oxide (ITO) - coated glass extracted from discarded liquid crystal displays (LCDs). An innovative one - step in - situ separation process is demonstrated, which exhibits high efficiency and selectivity. A comprehensive investigation was conducted into the leaching conditions affecting In recovery, including temperature, duration, solvent ratio, and solid - to - liquid ratio.

To achieve an intimate contact between neuronal cells and the electrode in non-invasive platforms intended for neurological research, in this study, we fabricated a raised-type Au multi-electrode array (MEA) by employing nanoscale-thick indium-tin oxide (ITO; 50 nm) as a track layer and plasma-enhanced atomic layer-deposited (PEALD) AlO (30-60 nm) and HfO (20 nm) as passivation layers. The PEALD AlO-passivated Au MEA was subsequently modified with electrodeposited AuPt nanoparticles (NPs) and IrO to demonstrate the passivation capability and chemical resistance of AlO to Au-, Pt-, and IrO NP-containing electrolytes. AlO-passivated and IrO/AuPt-modified MEAs could resolve optogenetically activated spikes and spontaneous activities with a root-mean-square noise level of 2.

Over the past two decades, the application of photocatalytic reactions in organic synthesis has increased remarkably. Porphyrins, renowned for their exceptional photophysical properties, photostability, and prevalence in natural catalytic processes, are attracting significant attention as promising photocatalysts for reactions proceeding through energy transfer and one-electron transfer. In this work, we synthesized the indium(III) complex of 2-[4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)phenyl]-1-imidazo[4,5-]-5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrin (InTMPIP) and explored its application as a photocatalyst for the oxidation of sulfides by dioxygen or air.

With the upgrading and obsoleting of electric refrigeration equipment, significant amounts of waste hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFCs) refrigerants are being generated, bringing serious ozone-depleting and global warming effects. HCFCs, containing chlorine and fluorine, have the potential to be converted into acids by mineralization. Hydrothermal technology possesses a tightly sealed environment and high thermal efficiency, providing significant advantages in treating volatile HCFCs.

Secondary zinc oxide dust is rich in high-grade metals such as Zn, In, Pb, and Ga, and in the face of the depletion of ore resources at home and abroad, it is of great significance to seek an efficient process to realize the full resource recovery of valuable metals in secondary zinc oxide dust. In this study, on the basis of the thermodynamic analysis of the wet treatment process, three wet treatment methods, namely "low acid leaching", "high acid leaching" and "chlorination leaching", were used to explore the suitable parameters for stepwise extraction of Zn, In and Pb metals. The results showed that the three wet treatment methods could effectively extract the corresponding main elements, and the optimal leaching rates of Zn, In and Pb were 73, 90 and 94%, respectively.
