Abstract
Biomass represents a promising form of renewable energy with favourable market potential. Nanocatalysts, known for their high activity and controllability, offer an opportunity to enhance the efficiency of biomass conversion processes. This review specifically examines the significant role and impact of nanocatalysts in biomass hydrogen-producing pyrolysis, dark fermentation, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis, as well as the associated preparation methods. Firstly, the potential of nanocatalysts in the catalytic pyrolysis of tar and their successful application in experimental reactors are reviewed. It discusses the enhancement of microorganism retention and the increase in hydrogen production rate through dark fermentation using composite nano-catalysts. Additionally, it highlights the promising application of 5-nm nanoscale NiO in electrocatalysis for a wide range of electrochemical reactions. The challenges of photocatalytic technology in efficient hydrogen production are also addressed. While nanocatalytic technology has positively impacted hydrogen production from biomass, challenges such as high cost, recyclability issues, and toxicity concerns persist. Future research directions include innovative nanocatalyst preparation, multi-technology combination, in-depth characterization research, and exploration of green nanocatalysts.
期刊介绍：
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
