Hybrid halide perovskites have taken over the world of new generation photovoltaics (PVs)
since their first implementation just a decade ago, thanks to their efficiency comparable to …

Deep-ocean polymetallic nodules form on or just below the vast, sediment-covered, abyssal
plains of the global ocean. Polymetallic nodules primarily consist of precipitated iron …

Ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) crusts are strongly enriched relative to the Earth's lithosphere in
many rare and critical metals, including Co, Te, Mo, Bi, Pt, W, Zr, Nb, Y, and rare-earth …

Looking beyond the traditional cost and efficiency metrics of photovoltaics (PV), this work
evaluates the impact of embodied energy, embodied carbon, and energy payback time of …

The chemistry of Fe and Mn in natural geochemical systems are closely coupled, as Fe and
Mn always co-exist in various forms (eg, hydrated ions, soluble complexes, and particles) in …

To ensure photovoltaics become a major sustainable player in a competitive power-
generation market, they must provide abundant, affordable electricity, with environmental …

Ferromanganese nodules are huge metal resources and windows into Earth processes,
being widely distributed in vast deep-sea basins covered by sediments. Co-rich …

Marine Fe–Mn oxyhydroxide crusts form by precipitation of dissolved components from
seawater. Three hydrogenetic crust samples (one phosphatized) and two hydrothermal Mn …

Metalloid tellurium is characterized as a chemical element belonging to the chalcogen group
without known biological function. However, its compounds, especially the oxyanions, exert …

Tellurium (Te) is a rare metalloid in the chalcogen group of the Periodic Table. Tellurium is
regularly listed as a critical raw material both due to its increased use in the solar industry …
