The ever-increasing demand for sustainable diesel production, driven by depleting fossil fuel reserves, escalating prices, and environmental concerns has led to an intensive exploration of biodiesel as an alternative. Although chemical catalysis has been a dominant strategy for biodiesel synthesis due to its rapid reaction rates, its limitations in handling low-grade feedstock, susceptibility to product contamination, and high-temperature and pressure demands have prompted a paradigm shift toward lipase catalysis. Lipases, renowned for their ability to function under moderate conditions and prevent product contamination, present an appealing substitute. However, their extensive adoption is hindered by their inherent high cost. To address this challenge, investigators have turned their attention to immobilizing lipases on various support materials, aiming to enhance stability and recyclability and ultimately make lipase-catalyzed biodiesel economically viable on a commercial level. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the raw materials employed, the lipase action mechanism at the interfacial level, and a detailed discussion of the recent works carried out in both traditional and innovative immobilization techniques. The discussion encompasses diverse support materials and factors influencing biodiesel manufacturing, thereby illuminating the dynamic landscape of immobilized lipases in the synthesis of biodiesel. Throughout this paper, our objective is to furnish insights into the current state of the field, pinpoint key challenges, and articulate a roadmap for future research endeavors in the pursuit of sustainable and economically viable biodiesel production.

Quercetin (QCT), as an important flavonoid, has different properties including neuroprotective, anti-hyperlipidemia, decreasing blood pressure and neuroprotective effects. Hence precise determination of quercetin is noteworthy. Herein, a fast, simple, highly sensitive, and new fluorescent sensor was prepared based on Achillea Millefolium extract carbon dots stabilized on sodium alginate structure (CD/Na-Al). For confirm the reliability of synthesized sensor some characterization analysis were performed such as FT-IR and TEM. The CD/Na-Al was applied for the accurate recognition and measurement of QCT molecule. The operation mechanism for the analytical procedure was based on ‘‘turn-off’’ the fluorescence emission signal in 440 nm. The dynamic linear range was obtained in the range of 1–25 and 25–110 µM, with detection of limits equal to 0.32 and 3.9 µM respectively. The observations confirmed that the present method was able to detect trace amounts of quercetin in black tea and sur cherry with satisfy results.

Enzymes are essential biological catalysts that can accelerate multiple reactions. Their outstanding catalytic properties make them highly valuable in different research fields and industries including pharmaceutical, sensing, food, and agriculture. However, the catalytic attributes of free enzymes are limited by their poor stability and resistance to harsh conditions. Recently, the conjugation of different enzymes with carbon dots (CDs) has been explored as a novel strategy for tuning their catalytic properties. CDs possess unique and tunable characteristics such as light stability, electron transfer properties, lower toxicity, cost-efficiency, and outstanding biocompatibility; thus, they represent excellent options for the conjugation of different enzymes to improve their stability, selectivity, and catalytic efficiency. Recently, various CDs-based nano-biocatalysts have been successfully prepared with superior performances compared to their free enzymes. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the most recent reported studies in the synthesis of CDs-based nano-biocatalysts providing an overview of current methodologies and recent research applications. Lastly, we delve into the prospects and the future possibilities of such innovative conjugates that entail an exploration of the faced challenges and their untapped potential for various applications.

摘要 酶是一种重要的生物催化剂,可以加速多种反应。酶的卓越催化特性使其在制药、传感、食品和农业等不同研究领域和行业中具有极高的价值。然而,游离酶的催化特性因其稳定性差和对恶劣条件的耐受性而受到限制。最近,人们探索了将不同的酶与碳点(CD)共轭,作为调整其催化特性的一种新策略。碳点具有独特的可调特性,如光稳定性、电子传递特性、低毒性、成本效益和出色的生物相容性;因此,它们是缀合不同酶以提高其稳定性、选择性和催化效率的绝佳选择。最近,人们成功制备了各种基于 CD 的纳米生物催化剂,其性能优于游离酶。因此,本综述旨在讨论有关合成 CD 基纳米生物催化剂的最新研究报告,概述当前的方法和最新的研究应用。最后,我们将深入探讨此类创新型共轭物的前景和未来可能性,包括所面临的挑战及其在各种应用中尚未开发的潜力。 图表摘要

In this work, CuFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were created using a hydrothermal process. The form and size of the obtained CuFe2O4 NPs were characterized using XRD and TEM techniques. The Scherrer equation and XRD measurements revealed that the crystal size of nanoparticles was 10.79 nm. The TEM study of nanoparticles with an average size of 7.673.75 nm revealed a distinctive core–shell structure. The methanolysis on NaBH4 at various parameters was used to assess the catalytic activity of NPs. The results showed that CuFe2O4 NPs are an effective catalyst for the methanolysis of NaBH4 in alkaline solutions, as demonstrated by the activation energy of 33.31 kJ/mol and turnover frequency (TOF), which was estimated as 2774.61 min−1 under ambient circumstances. These obtained NPs also showed an excellent (92%) reusability. A deep neural network architecture was determined using a neuro-evolutive approach based on a genetic algorithm to model the process and predict the catalyst performance in changing operating conditions. The determined models had a correlation > 0.9 and a mean squared error in the testing phase < 7.5%, indicating their capacity to capture the process dynamic effectively.

Abstract
Non-precious metal catalysts with enhanced low-temperature activity and improved water resistance are highly demanded for emission control. CuO-based catalysts are promising alternatives to precious metal catalysts due to their acceptable activity and cost-effectiveness. However, there is an urgent need to further enhance their low-temperature activity and water resistance for industrial applications. Herein, CuO catalysts supported by various SiO2-TiO2 supports were prepared and evaluated for CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO reactions under the testing conditions with and without water. Among the studied catalysts with different SiO2 contents, CuO/5SiO2-TiO2, in which CuO was supported by SiO2-TiO2 with 5 wt.% SiO2, exhibited the best performance for CO oxidation. Compared with CuO/TiO2 and CuO/SiO2 reference catalysts, the CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 catalyst showed enhanced catalytic activity in both CO oxidation and NO reduction by CO under dry and wet conditions. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that the presence of SiO2 in TiO2 support facilitated the CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 catalyst with a high dispersion and reduced oxidation states of CuOx species. This not only improved the low-temperature reducibility but also enhanced the adsorption of reactive CO species. As a result, the CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 catalyst demonstrated superior catalytic activity. Furthermore, the inclusion of SiO2 in the catalyst inhibited H2O adsorption, contributing to the enhanced water resistance on CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 catalyst. These advantages in catalytic activity and water resistance make CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 a promising candidate for applications in emission control.
摘要 排放控制领域对低温活性更强、耐水性更好的非贵金属催化剂的需求量很大。氧化铜基催化剂具有可接受的活性和成本效益,是贵金属催化剂的有前途的替代品。然而,工业应用迫切需要进一步提高其低温活性和耐水性。本文制备了由不同二氧化硅-二氧化钛(SiO2-TiO2)载体支撑的氧化铜催化剂,并对其在有水和无水试验条件下通过 CO 反应氧化 CO 和还原 NO 的性能进行了评估。在所研究的不同 SiO2 含量的催化剂中,CuO 被含 5 wt.% SiO2 的 SiO2-TiO2 支持的 CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 的 CO 氧化性能最好。与 CuO/TiO2 和 CuO/SiO2 参考催化剂相比,CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 催化剂在干法和湿法条件下 CO 氧化和 CO 还原 NO 的催化活性都有所提高。综合表征结果表明,TiO2 载体中 SiO2 的存在促进了 CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 催化剂的高度分散,并降低了 CuOx 物种的氧化态。这不仅提高了低温还原性,还增强了对活性 CO 物种的吸附。因此,CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 催化剂表现出更高的催化活性。此外,催化剂中 SiO2 的加入抑制了 H2O 的吸附,从而增强了 CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 催化剂的耐水性。CuO/5SiO2-TiO2 催化剂在催化活性和耐水性方面的这些优势使其在排放控制领域的应用前景广阔。

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles have attracted great attention in catalytic, medical diagnosis, and treatment research in recent years. The formation of palladium nanoparticles using rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) extract was carried out using the green synthesis method. The plant was extracted using 70% ethanol by microwave techniques. The novelty of this study is the investigation of the biological activities of green synthesis of Pd nanoparticles, such as DNA cleavage activity, antimicrobial activity, DPPH scavenging activity, and its electro-catalytic performance in alcohol oxidation. Additionally, photocatalytic activities were also evaluated. The characterization of synthesized palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) was performed by UV-spectrometry, XRD, FTIR, and TEM. According to TEM results, Pd nanoparticles were observed to have a spherical shape and an average particle size of 4.91 nm. The Pd NPs showed the photodegradation of MB solution by up to 79.9% at 120 min. The newly synthesized plant-mediated green synthesized Pd NPs showed the max and the min antimicrobial activity at 16 µg/mL and 256 µg/mL against L. pneumophila and C. albicans, respectively. The current density ratio of 48.22 mA/cm2 obtained in the study indicates that the obtained materials may be of interest in different applications. According to the results obtained, a direct relationship of extract use is observed in the synthesis of Pd nanoparticles and is a good way to reduce and stabilize metal salts. It has been determined that green Pd NPs have potential for use in energy production from alcohol oxidation and in medical applications.

In this work, a novel idea for obtaining in processes performed in real-world processes (here, the illustrative example is the gas phase hydrogenation of propene) a precise kinetic equation that corresponds to the experimental results was examined. The considerations are based on quasi-steady-state hypothesis and using elements of graph theory. The mathematical basis of the method used was developed by Lazman and Yablonsky [1], further considerations are presented in Yablonski et al. [2], Marin et al. [3]. The exemplary derivations of kinetic equations without simplifications are presented in the aforementioned works. The lack of assumptions allows consideration of all possible interactions between the reagents and the surface species, which is a pro of the method. However, the equation obtained usually has a complex form. Some of the parameters that result from theoretical considerations are simply insignificant for the real-world process. To eliminate this problem, the original procedure, based on statistical and process analysis, was employed. The previously determined kinetic equation, which does not have additional assumptions, was simplified. Statistical analysis helps to find and justify possible simplifications of the kinetic equation by eliminating insignificant parameters present in the kinetic equation and provides strong evidence for the correctness of the approach. The resulting kinetic equation indicates that the new proposed mechanism for the propene hydrogenation process that accepts reactions between adsorbed propene and gaseous hydrogen corresponds to the experiment. The residual sum of squares is significantly lower than those for the equations presented in the literature. The statistical test (the Akaike criterion) also indicates that the new model is better than the others. The results obtained indicate that the commonly applied approach based on the rate-determining step concept has become obsolete, apart from obvious cases. The application of the more advanced mathematical approach gives better results, as was presented.

Three vanadium complexes supported by salophan and salan ligands featuring differences in steric, electronic, and oxidation state (IV vs V) of the metal center have been evaluated for their potential in catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of a simple lignin model compound. All complexes were found to be effective, and under optimized conditions (145 °C, 48 h, in air) produced the cleavage products, phenol and benzoic acid, in good yields (62–69%) and selectivity (69–77%); significant differences in reactivity were not observed except at a lower temperature (125 °C). Complex 3c featuring sterically bulky tert butyl groups at ortho/para positions of the phenol arms, a cyclohexyl backbone and a V(V) center resulted in the highest yields and selectivity at 135 °C over 72 h (69–78% yield; 78–89% selectivity). Longer reaction times as well as reaction temperatures were found to compromise yield and selectivity for both cleavage products. An oxidizing atmosphere was found to be crucial for the observed reactivity as reactions attempted under an inert atmosphere did not result in significant conversion. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the lignin model compound is oxidized prior to undergoing cleavage, and the vanadium(V) complex is more effective at cleaving the oxidized product in comparison to the vanadium(IV) counterparts. Quite significantly, the oxidative cleavage was achieved in the absence of any basic or acidic additives.

An effective way of monitoring the biomarker is with electrochemical sensor studies. In this work, it was formed using electrochemical deposition of high conductivity gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and an amine-functional reduced graphene oxide (NH2-RGO) nanocomposite. This technique not only reduced HAuCl4 and graphene oxide in situ but also improved the electrocatalytic performance. XRD, SEM, and FTIR analytical methods confirmed the size and structure of the AuNPs/NH2-RGO nanoparticle. As a result of XRD analysis, AuNPs/NH2-RGO crystal structure was formed. In addition, antibodies (Ab) were immobilized on the modified electrode surface using a self-assembled monolayer. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods were used to evaluate the interaction of Ab with antigen. SHBG detection had a dynamic linear range of 0.6–12 nmol/L and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0043 µM in enhanced sensor applications. The AuNPs/NH2-RGO based sensor has the potential to be a valuable tool in clinical diagnostic applications in the future.
