By turning a waste stream into a clean energy source, green hydrogen generation from wastewater provides a dual solution to energy and environmental problems. This study presents a thorough bibliometric analysis of research trends in the field of gre...

This study investigates the impacts of the gas environment, water matrix, and reactive species on the TiO2-mediated photocatalytic degradation of safranin O (SO), a dye commonly found in wastewater. A slurry reactor (UVA, 365 nm) was used to quantify...

High energy demand due to boosted economic growth has led to heavy consumption of fossil fuels, thus causing massive emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. A promising solution to reduce carbon emissions is to convert CO2 into methanol (CH3OH)...

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles have received much attention in environmental science and technology due to their unique electronic and chemical properties. While sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) activated by nZVI s...

Plant enzymes, such as those from castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), have been studied as biocatalysts for various industrial applications. In this study, a powdered enzyme extract was used to analyze the potential of lipases present in three castor...

Ferroelectric materials have attracted great attention for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution due to their internal depolarization fields that promote carrier separation and directional migration. However, conventional inorganic ferroelectrics of...

In recent years, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has gained considerable ground in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis for the abatement of emerging contaminants from aqueous environments. Nonetheless, certain limitations, including a small s...

A cobalt vanadate (CoV2O6) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized and characterized for the degradation of organic dyes under visible light. Structural analysis revealed a monoclinic crystalline phase with a band gap energy of 2.13 eV, indicating...

Carbonic anhydrase (CA), an enzyme that accelerates CO2 hydration, is one of the most widely used enzymes in the aid of CO2 sequestration. We entrapped CA from Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense (SazCA) within biomimetic silica; to enhance the activity of...

The improved biomass-derived aldehyde compounds represent a valuable route to the production of high-value-added fuels and chemicals. However, the majority of mature catalytic systems exhibit low hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity, even under harsh re...
