Agro-industrial residue torrefaction to bio-coal: Its physico-chemical characterization and potential applications in energy and environmental protection.

Leveraging biofuel derived from biomass stands as a pivotal strategy in reducing CO emissions and mitigating the greenhouse effect. Biomass serves as a clean, renewable energy source, offering inherent benefits. However, despite its advantages, biomass encounters obstacles hindering its widespread industrial applications, including its relatively low calorific value, limited grindability, high water content, and susceptibility to corrosion.

Research on engineered electrocatalysts for efficient water splitting: a comprehensive review.

Water electrolysis plays an interesting role toward hydrogen generation for overcoming global environmental crisis and solving the energy storage problem. However, there is still a deficiency of efficient electrocatalysts to overcome sluggish kinetics for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Great efforts have been employed to produce potential catalysts with low overpotential, rapid kinetics, and excellent stability for HER and OER.
