Abstract The meticulous design of active sites and light absorbers holds the key to development high-performance photothermal catalysts for CO 2 hydrogenation. Here, we report a nonmetallic plasmonic catalyst Mo N/MoO - x nanosheets by integrating localized surface plasmon resonance effect with two distinct types Leveraging synergism dual sites, H molecules can be simultaneously adsorbed activated on N atom O vacancy, respectively. Meanwhile, this noble-metal-free signifies its promising ability convert photon energy into heat. Consequently, exhibit remarkable catalytic performance in reverse water-gas shift reaction. Under continuous full-spectrum irradiation (3 W·cm −2 ) duration 168 h, achieve yield rate 355 mmol·gcat −1 ·h flow reactor selectivity exceeding 99%. This work offers valuable insights precise reducing carbon footprints.

Beyond energy crisis, biodiesel offers renewable and unlimited option to the challenges associated with fossil fuels depletion. Biodiesel could reduce carbon foot print gas emissions. Therefore, China has set an audacious goal of neutrality by 2060. In order cost production, it is critical look for alternative feedstocks unconventional resources. can be produced from sustainable like edible non-edible oils, insects, municipal sewage sludge, oleaginous microorganisms. Existing life cycle assessments yeast-based production are required assess potential environmental impacts obtain a holistic picture. The circular economy paradigm recently emerged as viable linear, unsustainable consumption systems. Given legislative requirements principle, use textile azo dye wastewater promising its management. annual disposal 4,500,000 tons dyes socioeconomic concern due their carcinogenic potential. Azo account over 70% global industrial demand. Biological-mediated degradation thought cost-effective, environmentally friendly when compared physical chemical approaches. To this end, yeasts play significant role, owing high growth rate, tolerance extreme conditions, ability effectively degrade lignin aromatic compounds, concurrently representing highly feedstock production. Interestingly, emphasis been given on novel symbiotic isolated termite guts microbiomes multiple biotechnological applications. review focuses recent findings degrading inhabiting guts. While capturing research advancements emphasizes concept using dyes/aromatic wastes

Abstract Hydrogen is one of the most important energy alternatives to conventional fossil‐based fuel. Solar based photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) a salient approach produce fuel but its efficiency generally limited by sluggish and energy‐unfavorable oxidation reaction. Meanwhile, waste treatment has become worldwide problem clean highly demanded avoid vast greenhouse emission currently. Inspiringly, PHE can be effectively coupled with favorable photooxidation many wastes, which kills two birds stone. In this review, recent progress in presented, where typical solid, liquid, gas wastes have been briefly discussed. Focusing on understanding complicated reaction mechanism revelation products, cutting‐edge techniques for photophysics surface chemistry characterization analyzed, are imperative facilitate following investigation. Finally, developing trend existing issues current research also discussed detail so that holistic blueprint portrayed accelerate their application realistic world.
