Olive Leaves as Biotemplates for Enhanced Solar-Light Harvesting by a Titania-Based Solid
(MDPI, 2020)
Olive leaves (by-product from olive oil production in olive mills) were used as biotemplates to synthesize a titania-based artificial olive leaf (AOL). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of AOL showed the successful ...
Hydrogen Production through Glycerol Photoreforming on TiO2/Mesoporous Carbon: Influence of the Synthetic Method
(MDPI, 2020)
This article explores the effect of the synthetic method of titanium dioxide (TiO2)/C composites (physical mixture and the water-assisted/unassisted sol-gel method) on their photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production ...
Glyceraldehyde production by photocatalytic oxidation of glycerol on WO3-based materials
(Elsevier, 2021)
Valorization of glycerol into high added-value products by photocatalysis can not only create good economic benefits, but also cater to the global low-carbon and energy-saving environmental protection needs. In this study ...
EPR and CV studies cast further light on the origin of the enhanced hydrogen production through glycerol photoreforming on CuO:TiO2 physical mixtures
(Elsevier, 2021)
Different CuO nanoparticles were synthesized and tested in CuO:TiO2 physical mixtures for hydrogen production through glycerol photoreforming. CuO alone was inactive whereas its presence in CuO:TiO2 mixtures significantly ...
Fourth generation synthesis of solketal by glycerol acetalization with acetone: A solar-light photocatalytic approach
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background: Biomass is the only renewable alternative to fossil fuels to produce chemicals. In this sense, glycerol is an important biomass-derived platform chemical obtained as a by-product during biodiesel generation. ...
Bio-Templating: An Emerging Synthetic Technique for Catalysts. A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
In the last few years, researchers have focused their attention on the synthesis of new catalyst structures based on or inspired by nature. Biotemplating involves the transfer of biological structures to inorganic materials ...
Hydrogen photoproduction on TiO2-CuO artificial olive leaves
(Elsevier, 2021)
Olive leaves were used as biotemplates to synthesize diverse TiO2-CuO solids. A successful replication of trichomes and internal channels was evidenced by SEM, whereas a good dispersion of Cu and Ti atoms was observed by ...
