Single Atoms in Photocatalysis: Low Loading Is Good Enough!

Shanshan Qin et al.

Summary: We disperse Pt single atoms on TiO2 thin films and evaluate the photocatalytic H-2 generation. We find that a minuscule loading of Pt single atoms is sufficient to achieve maximized H-2 production rate under common illumination intensities. The overall reaction rate is determined by charge carrier generation, rather than the density of co-catalytic sites.

Chitosan-coated oleaginous microalgae-fungal pellets for improved bioremediation of non-sterile secondary effluent and application in carbon dioxide sequestration in bubble column photobioreactors

Wageeporn Maneechote et al.

Summary: The oleaginous microalga Scenedesmus sp. SPP was rapidly immobilized in oleaginous fungal pellets by utilizing their opposite surface charges. The microalgae-fungal (MF) pellets showed higher efficiency in improving the bioremediation of non-sterile secondary effluent compared to mono-culture. By coating the MF pellets with 0.4% chitosan, the removal efficiencies of COD, TN, and TP were significantly enhanced, likely due to better cell retention and nutrient adsorption and assimilation.

Alginate-based nanocarriers for the delivery and controlled-release of bioactive compounds

Aiman Karim et al.

Summary: Alginate-based nanocarriers have great potential in the delivery of bioactive compounds. Calcium alginate and sodium alginate, as the most promising wall materials, are non-toxic, relatively cheap, simple to produce, and biocompatible and biodegradable. The review discusses different alginate-based nanocarriers and their entrapment of bioactives, as well as their bioavailability in the gastric environment. Alginate-based nanocarriers can be used as emulsifiers/encapsulants for various bioactives, including vitamins, minerals, peptides, essential oils, and carotenoids. The combination of alginate-based nanocarriers with other polysaccharides/emulsifiers is recognized as the most effective approach for the protection, delivery, and sustained release of bioactives.
