AB  - Biocatalysis utilizes enzymes and microbial cells as catalysts for a wide range of applications in biotechnology. Immobilization of biocatalysts on various materials has several advantages, including the capacity for reuse, quick reaction termination, easy biocatalyst recovery and operational stability. The present article focuses on the use of material supports for developing immobilized biocatalysts in applications related to energy, environment and chemical synthesis. The work provides a comprehensive overview of a broad class of materials, including organic, inorganic and composites, that have been shown to be prosperous candidates to support the immobilization of enzymes and microbial cells. It also highlights the properties of nanomaterial support such as large surface area and comfort compartment for immobilization. The availability of different types of materials as catalyst support provides an opportunity to understand and develop efficient biocatalytic systems. The choice of selecting a catalyst support will mostly depend on the interaction of the material with the enzyme or microbial cell. Finally, potential challenges, future approaches in developing immobilized biocatalytic systems for various applications and novel material supports are suggested. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

AB  - Environmental protection and energy conversion by state-of-the-art photocatalysts emerge as imperative in pursuit for ideal, sustainable, and green oriented solutions. However, major drawbacks in broader application of one of the most promising semiconductor photocatalyst, titanium dioxide (TiO2), lie in the need for enhancing visible-light absorption and elevating the photocatalytic reactivity. Toward these directions, narrowing the material band gap and functionalization of the surface chemistry are among the most prosperous materials design approaches. As reported in earlier work, the surface structure engineering proved to be an encouraging approach to endow optical and electrical properties of the TiO2-based material. For the first time, the black powder of TiO2 with a disordered lattice and hydrogen surface doping was obtained through hydrogenation under high pressure and temperature, consequently leading to narrowing the optical band gap to 1.54eV. The presented chapter aims to reveal in-depth all the literature available information related to the black titania synthesis in addition of sharing in details its prosperous physicochemical properties. Feature information related to the photocatalytic activity of black TiO2 as well as of the most crucial features will also be provided. Finally, the chapter will conclude with the derived significant benefits of such material properties in photocatalytic treatment of organic pollutants and hydrogen production. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

AB  - The progressive development of technology and industry in the new millennium emergently requires finding a balance between economic progress and new smart materials. Graphene as a carbon allotrope since the discovery has attracted enormous attention due to several extraordinary properties that originate from its physical and chemical assets. However, the most important obstacle in graphene assembly still is the production of high-quality graphene on a large scale using cost-effective methods. The presented review article aims to give information on a turning point in graphene synthesis, with reference to a detailed analysis of electrochemical exfoliation, rapid thermal annealing and biomass pyrolysis. Selected methods for graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials production were not covered in the literature to their maximum potential, from our point of view. Through an overview of the selected synthesis methods, we explored their prospects and limitations regarding precursor type and reaction conditions. Furthermore, through several important characterization techniques for graphene, we reveal the details of the properties of graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials obtained through selected methods. Finally, a particular potential application depending on nanomaterial properties obtained through selected methods was pointed out.

AB  - The interest in homogeneous photocatalysis arises from the high activity and selectivity advantages of controlled photochemical transformations such as synthesis of chemical/pharmaceutical products or complete degradation/mineralization of hazardous compounds. However, the major drawback of homogeneous photocatalytic reactions lies in the separation and recovery of the photocatalyst after the reaction, necessary to make the photocatalytic process eco-friendly. Immobilization of homogeneous photocatalysts on different supports is considered to be a viable method to increase the retainability and reusability of the photocatalyst simultaneously. This chapter aims to provide an in-depth information related to the immobilization of various homogeneous photocatalysts on well-known synthetic and natural polymers. Detailed information related to the potential environmental and chemical synthesis applications of immobilized homogeneous photocatalysts are also discussed. Finally, this chapter concludes with a new direction in emerging technologies for developing better supported photocatalysts. Graphical Abstract Unlabelled Image
