Novel Zwitterionic Polydopamine Nanofiller‐Reinforced Hybrid Membranes With Superior Antifouling Performance for Wastewater Treatment

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work reports one‐pot synthesized novel zwitterionic polydopamine‐silica (ZSiPDA) nanofillers for fabricating PES hybrid ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling performance. The optimized membrane achieved over 91% humic acid removal and showed strong potential for municipal wastewater treatment.

Enabling Ultrastable Microbubbles With Graphene Aerogel Enrichment and Machine Learning for Highly Efficient Carbon Storage

Electron, EarlyView.
This study aims to introduce a novel‐designed structure of the colloidal aphron microbubbles reinforced by incorporating hydrophobic aerographene microparticles onto the hydrophobic outer shell. This results in the formation of a robust composite film and armored microbubble that offers exceptional ultrastability under elevated pressures of up to 400 ...

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Waste to Hydrogen: Transforming Food Waste Into Biohythane (Bio‐H2 + Bio‐CH4) in a Two‐Stage Reactor With the Aid of a Metal‐Ion Catalyst

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
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

Light‐Driven Butyrate Production by a Probiotic Clostridium tyrobutyricum Enabled by a Cell‐Semiconductor Hybrid Interface

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates a light‐driven biohybrid system where CdS nanoparticles, mineralized on the probiotic Clostridium tyrobutyricum, inject photoelectrons to elevate intracellular NADH. This boosts the flux through key NADH‐dependent enzymes (GapA, Hbd, and Bcd), reprogramming metabolism to enhance butyrate yield by 33.2% and selectivity to 95.7%
