Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 7, Page 3388-3421, July 2026.This study demonstrates a two‐stage catalytic bioreactor system that converts real food waste into high‐purity biohydrogen and biohythane. In Stage‐1, an enriched Clostridium thermocellum culture combined with Ni2+─Fe2+ bimetallic catalysis enhances hydrolysis efficiency and hydrogenase activity, resulting in a 77% increase in H2 yield and 75.8% purity

Compostable and Recyclable Baroplastic Triblock Copolymers Enable Low‐Energy Polymer Processing
Small, Volume 22, Issue 37, 2 July 2026.Baroplastic Poly(L‐lactide)‐block‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(L‐lactide) triblock copolymers enable ambient‐temperature processing under moderate pressure, reducing energy demand while preserving polymer integrity. The materials show rapid industrial compostability, effective chemical and physical recyclability, and compatibility with heat ...

Utilization of Thermally Modified Water Treatment Plant Sludge as an Adsorbent for Fluoride Removal
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 1, July 2026.ABSTRACT The presence of fluoride (F−) at high concentrations in drinking water is a global concern due to its adverse health effects. This study evaluated the removal of F− ions by adsorption using an adsorbent produced from thermally modified water treatment plant sludge (TWTPS), providing an efficient and low‐cost alternative for contaminated water ...
