Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional
materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal–phenolic …

A low-carbon future based on renewable energy systems is required to limit global warming
to 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. However, economy-wide …

Metal-phenolic network (MPN) is a kind of supramolecular material formed by the
complexation of metal ions and organic ligands, and is widely used due to its extensive …

The germanium-containing slag dust (GCSD) contains 49.65% zinc and 620.4 g/t
germanium, and has a high recovery value. This work dealt with the leaching behaviors and …

The recovery of germanium (Ge) from zinc residue leachate has attracted increasing
attention. Herein, this study report on the development of a tartaric acid functionalized …

The critical element germanium lacks efficient and economical recovery process to recover it
from dilute sources such as coal fly ash. In the current study, a novel microwave-based …

A novel leaching-roasting-leaching strategy was used to recover valuable metals from zinc
oxide dust containing intractable germanide. In the ultrasonic enhanced oxidation leaching …

Fundamental research on germanium as the central element in compounds for bond
activation chemistry and catalysis has achieved significant feats over the last two decades …

Abstract Gallium (Ga) and Germanium (Ge) are crucial strategic resources with extensive
applications in high-tech industries. However, Ga and Ge primarily occur as associated …

As a critical metal, germanium (Ge) is widely used as a semi-conductor, a catalyst, and an
optical material. Generally, smelting method is used to extract Ge from the coal burned in …
