Combined potentiometric titration and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) methods were used to study the interactions of nickel(II) ions with the N-terminal fragments and histidine-rich fragments of Hpn-like protein from two strains (11637 and 26695). The ITC measurements were performed at various temperatures and buffers in order to extract proton-independent reaction enthalpies of nickel binding to each of the studied protein fragments. We bring up the problem of ITC results of nickel binding to the Hpn-like protein being not always compatible with those from potentiometry and MS regarding the stoichiometry and affinity. The roles of the ATCUN motif and multiple His and Gln residues in Ni(II) binding are discussed. The results provided the possibility to compare the Ni(II) binding properties between N-terminal and histidine-rich part of Hpn-like protein and between N-terminal parts of two Hpn-like strains, which differ mainly in the number of glutamine residues.

The increasing production of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) necessitates the development of green and sustainable technologies for their recycling. Unfortunately, most of the recycling technologies used are always associated with high energy and chemical reagents consumption, posing a great risk to the environment. Herein, we propose a photovoltaic driven carrier-facilitated electrodialytic membrane process for low carbon recovery of spent ternary LIBs.

The rapid increase in population has driven the demand for fossil fuel energy, contributing to increased carbon emissions that ultimately accelerate global warming and climate change. Battery storage systems have many advantages over conventional energy sources. However, they face limitations such as energy storage, cost, and environmental hazards that come with the use of chemical binders.

The difference in hydroxyl adsorption between Ni and Fe sites in NiFeOOH limits the efficient dual-site synergistic mechanism (DSSM) during oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a novel needle-array electrodeposition is reported for the scalable and efficient fabrication of Co and Y co-doped NiFeOOH catalyst. It achieves an ultralow overpotential of 270 mV at 1 A cm with a small Tafel slope of 30.

Nanocatalysts-catalyzed heterogeneous advanced oxidation process offers a promising option for decentralized wastewater treatment, whereas free reactive oxygen species (ROS) suffer from ultrashort lifetime and self-quenching effect. Herein, bimetallic CoFe-layered double hydroxide nanorods are synthesized over three-dimensional conductive nickel foam (CoFe-LDHs/NF) to achieve high proportion of surface-localized ROS by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The Fe incorporation motivates electron redistribution of Co-Fe dual metal sites in stoichiometrically-optimized CoFe-LDHs/NF, and promotes the binding affinity of Co sites for surface complexed PMS and ROS.
