Defect engineering through heteroatom doping is one of the most important strategies towards the development of catalytic active materials for energy related applications. Herein, a novel trifunctional Br/Co/N Co-doped and defect-enriched porous carbon framework ([email protected]) is designed, which shows excellent electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen...

Background Xylose is the most prevalent sugar available in hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) and of great interest for the green economy. Unfortunately, most of the cell factories cannot inherently metabolize xylose as sole carbon source. Yarrowia lipolytica is a non-conventional yeast that produces industrially important meta...
Food waste management has been a global challenge with significant economic and environmental impacts. A community-based food waste treatment scheme for Glasgow, UK is proposed. The food waste was treated by small-scale wet, mesophilic anaerobic digestion. Biogas was combusted in a combined heat and power plant to generate heat and electricity for ...
To improve energy efficiency and biomass utilization in the process of anaerobic digestion, co-gasification is considered as an effective method to post-treat anaerobic digestion residues. In this work, the effect of temperature (650 degrees C, 750 degrees C, 850 degrees C and 950 degrees C) on the co-gasification of digestate and lignite was thoro...
The alkylation process of isobutane with butene is important in the petroleum industry. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered as attractive alternative catalysts for isobutane alkylation besides strong liquid acids (H2SO4 or HF) and solid superacids. In this study, ILs based on amides-aluminum chloride (AlCl3) were synthesized and characterized, which...

Though MoS2 has been regarded a promising alternative to Pt for catalyzing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a transition from its natural poorly conductive 2H phase to metastable 1T phase is necessary, which often requires harsh experimental conditions. Herein, using a metal-organic framework (MOF) material (UiO-66) as sacrificing template, we pr...
