Anatase TiO2 is a stable, cheap, non-toxic and environmentally benign candidate for use as an anode active material for lithium ion batteries (LIB). Due to the comparably high lithium insertion potential of around 1.8 V vs. Li/Li, typical battery electrolytes can be used in their thermodynamic stability window. Anatase offers high capacity and high cycling stability, and due to the oxidic frame...

In this work, the concentrations of the potentially toxic elements in stream sediments in SE Nigeria were assessed for pollution monitoring in mining, quarrying, and farming areas. The levels of iron, molybdenum, vanadium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, barium, and beryllium were determined. The concentrations of the elements were in the order of Fe > Ba > Mn > Cr > Zn...

Retraction of ‘Magnetic polydopamine decorated with Mg–Al LDH nanoflakes as a novel bio-based adsorbent for simultaneous removal potentially toxic metals and anionic dyes’ by Jie Li et al. , J. Mater. Chem. A 2016, 4 1737–1746, https://doi.org/10.1039/C5TA09132B.

Human milk contains essential micronutrients for growth and development during early life. Environmental pollutants, such as potentially toxic metals, can also be transferred to the infant through human milk. These elements have been well-studied, but changing diets and environments and advances in laboratory technology require re-examining these elements in a variety of settings. The aim of th...

Black chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa) are considered to be functional food containing high amounts of anthocyanins, phenols, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Whereas organic compounds are well studied, there is little research on the mineral composition of the chokeberries. Thus, the presented study is focused on the determination of Al, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, ...
