Environmental pollution and sustainability issues require environmentally friendly solutions. In this study, we synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) using a sol––gel method with Croton macrostachyus bark extract for applicatio...

Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) can be used to create catalysts with unsurpassed practical characteristics, including for demanding and stable electrochemical reactions such as nitrogen reduction (NRR), nitrate reduction (NO₃RR), and nitrite reduction...

The production of biodiesel from microalgae presents a sustainable and renewable solution to the growing global energy demands, with catalysts playing a critical role in optimizing the transesterification process. This study examines the emerging cat...

Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are effective for removing organic pollutants from wastewater. In this study, transition metal-doped cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) was synthesized as an efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activat...

Nowadays, nanosized mesoporous oxides are of increasing interest to scientists. They can be used as components of heterogeneous catalysts, for photo- and electrocatalysis, as gas sensors, etc. For instance, the desired properties in catalysts include...

Industrial catalysts are accelerating the global transition toward renewable energy, serving as enablers for innovative technologies that enhance efficiency, lower costs, and improve environmental sustainability. This review explores the pivotal role...

Commercially available bismuth subcarbonate (Bi₂O₂CO₃) was treated with nitric acid and the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The treated catalysts exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to pure Bi₂O₂CO₃ in the decolorization of...

Copper-doped indium zinc sulfides were synthesized by heating and stirring a mixture of zinc chloride, indium chloride tetrahydrate, thioacetamide, and copper chloride at 180 °C for 18 h. Among these, Zn_5.7Cu_0.3In₂S₉ exhibited a hydrogen-producin...

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a common contaminant in industrial wastewater, poses severe health risks due to its carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Consequently, the development of efficient and environmentally friendly methods to reduce Cr(VI)...

Sawdust is an abundant source of lignocellulosic biomass, presenting a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels for producing aromatics, fuels, and chemicals. Lignin, a crucial component, can be depolymerized into valuable aromatics or used for polyme...

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are photocatalysts composed of covalent bonds of light elements and free of toxic metals. COFs are highly active against dyes. Furthermore, we aimed to improve the utility of COFs by making them into membranes. In t...
