High-performance supercapacitor electrodes were prepared using activated carbon from Palmyra palm shells. The raw biomass was carbonized at 800 °C under argon atmosphere, followed by a microwave refluxing process with a mixture of HNO3/H2SO4 as catalytic solution. The activated carbons with and without reflux treatment were characterized by XRD, Ra...

The massive burning of a large amount of fossil energy has caused a lot of serious environmental issues (e.g., air pollution and climate change), urging people to efficiently explore and valorize sustainable alternatives. Biomass is being deemed as the only organic carbon-containing renewable resource for the production of net-zero carbon emission ...

Lignocellulose-based hierarchical porous carbon is a very promising electrode material for supercapacitors, but lower volumetric energy density and yield have hindered its practical applications. Herein, a low-temperature dehydration carbon-fixation method using NH4 Cl as modification reagent was developed to prepare rice husk-based hierarchical po...

Considering economic and environmental impacts, catalytic biomass conversion to valuable compounds has attracted more and more attention. Of particular interest is furfural, a versatile biorefinery platform molecule used as a feedstock for the production of fuels and fine chemicals. In this study, the Cr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MIL-10...

Swollenins exist within some fungal species and are candidate accessory proteins for the biodegradation of cellulosic substrates. Here, we describe the identification of a swollenin gene, Tlswo, in Talaromyces leycettanus JCM12802. Tlswo was successfully expressed in both Trichoderma reesei and Pichia pastoris. Assay results indicate that TlSWO is ...

Removing vicinal hydroxyls with a twist : Experimental and computational studies indicate that cyclic trans ‐diol compounds can be deoxydehydrated to alkenes. The problem presented by the trans stereochemistry of the diol groups is overcome using a vanadium(V)‐based catalyst. The computed mechanism suggests stepwise cleavage of the diol C−O bonds, ...
