Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Reversible electrochemical processes are a promising technology for energy-efficient water
treatment. Electrochemical desalination is based on the compensation of electric charge by …

Manganese (Mn) is a biologically important and redox-active metal that may exert a poorly
recognized control on carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Manganese influences …

Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

Tannins, also known as plant polyphenols (PPs), are secondary metabolites widely existing
in higher plants and are a kind of natural renewable resource with wide distribution, variety …

The oxidation of organic matter coupled to the reduction of Fe (III) or Mn (IV) is one of the
most important biogeochemical reactions in aquatic sediments, soils, and groundwater. This …

Microbes that couple growth to the reduction of manganese could play an important role in
the biogeochemistry of certain anaerobic environments. Such a bacterium, Alteromonas …

▪ Abstract Manganese (IV) oxides produced through microbial activity, ie, biogenic Mn
oxides or Mn biooxides, are believed to be the most abundant and highly reactive Mn oxide …

The textile industry consumes a large volume of organic dyes and water. These organic
dyes, which remained in the effluents, are usually persistent and difficult to degrade by …
