Quantification of Peptide-Bound Particles: A Phage Mimicking Approach via Site-Selective Immobilization on Glass.

ABSTRACT: The increasing complexity and need of high-tech materials for modern electronics raise the demand for rare earth elements. While recycling rates are still negligible for most elements, geopolitical tensions, circular economy, and the aim for a carbon-neutral society put pressure on conventional supply strategies and emphasize the need for new ideas for recycling. Our research group works on the development of phage surface display (PSD)-derived peptide-based recycling methods for electronic waste. This study focuses on LaPO₄:Ce,Tb (LAP), a component of electronic waste from compact energy-saving lamps containing rare earth element-enriched fluorescent powders. While free solution-phase peptides show little to no interaction with the target material, we re-enabled the binding cap
