Synthesis and Characterization of Ag–Fe Bimetallic Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites (Alloys and Core–Shells) for Photocatalytic Degradation of Bromophenol Blue Dye Using Grewia optiva Leaf Extract

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ag–Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (alloy and core–shell structures) were synthesized using Grewia optiva leaf extract through a green, phytochemical‐mediated approach. The effects of pH, temperature, extract concentration, and Ag:Fe molar ratio on nanoparticle formation were systematically optimized, enabling size‐controlled and morphologically ...

Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.
