Dry reforming of methane is an advantageous technique to produce syngas by using greenhouse gases like CO2 and CH4. This study investigated the stability, catalytic effectiveness, and physicochemical characteristics of mono- and trimetallic catalysts...

This study investigated the aerobic biodecolorization of azo dyes by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. S. oneidensis MR-1 can rapidly degrade azo dyes under aerobic conditions, even at high concentrations of up to 270 mg/L, demonstrating remarkable dye dec...

The urgent need to address the climate crisis demands a swift transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Clean hydrogen, produced through ethanol steam reforming (ESR), offers a viable solution. Traditional ESR operates at atmospheric pressure...

Niacin is a compound with a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, food nutrition, animal breeding, cosmetics, etc. A recombinant Escherichia coli carrying the afnitA nitrilase gene was created to transform 3-cyanopyridine into ni...

ZnO-based photocatalysts have attracted significant attention for their potential use in advanced oxidation processes for environmental remediation. However, critical challenges, such as rapid charge carrier recombination and narrow light absorption,...

Xylanase was isolated from a newly isolated Mangrovibacter plantisponsor UMTKB-3 strain. The response surface methodology was employed to optimize extracellular xylanase production; the best experimental value (25 ± 0.12 U/mL) was obtained whe...

With increasing demands for sustainable chemical production, bioethanol-derived ethylene offers a promising alternative to petroleum-based routes. This review examines recent advances in metal-modified zeolites for the catalytic conversion of bioetha...

This study examines the effects of several commercial surfactants on the dispersion of catalyst inks for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Catalyst inks containing Pt/C were spray-coated and assembled into membrane electrode assemblies (M...

Enzymatic CO2 fixation offers great potential for the sustainable synthesis of value-added compounds. Malic enzyme (ME) catalyzes the reverse carboxylation of pyruvate to malate, enabling direct CO2 conversion into C4 compounds with broad biosyntheti...

Herein, carbon nanofiber (CNF) was prepared by pyrolyzing electrospun cellulose nanofiber, which was further used to incorporate with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to prepare metal-free photocatalyst (CNF/g-C3N4). CNF/g-C3N4 was then used to degr...
