Substances harmful to photo-fermentative biological hydrogen production (PFHP) were produced during cellulose hydrolysis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of by-products (5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and furfural) released from lignocellulose during enzymatic hydrolysis process on PFHP. The exist of 5-HMF inhibited the hydrogen production. However, 0.2 g/L furfural improved the hydrogen production by 19 % compared to no addition (511.6 mL) with a maximum concentration of nitrogenase (109.96 IU/L) at 96 h. Furthermore, a 18.7 % enhancement of hydrogen production was also observed when 0.2 g/L 5-HMF and furfural were mixed at a ratio of 1:1, while decrement of hydrogen production at higher addition was observed as well. Through the scatter matrix analysis, it was concluded that 5-HMF and furfural additives had significant effects on PFHP. This study gave an insight into effect of lignocellulosic by-products on biohydrogen production.

Characterization of a novel D-sorbitol dehydrogenase from Faunimonas pinastri A52C2.

The enzyme D-sorbitol dehydrogenase (SLDH) facilitates the conversion of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose. While current knowledge of this enzyme class predominantly centers on Gluconobacter oxydans, the catalytic properties of enzymes from alternative sources, particularly their substrate specificity and coenzyme dependency, remain ambiguous. In this investigation, we conducted BLASTp analysis and screened out a novel SLDH (Fpsldh) from Faunimonas pinastri A52C2.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are often employed in oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) for hydrogen peroxide production due to their tunable structures and compositions. However, COF electrocatalysts require precise structural engineering, such as heteroatoms or metal site doping, to modulate the reaction pathway during the ORR process. In this work, we designed a tetraphenyl-p-phenylenediamine based COF electrocatalyst, namely TPDA-BDA, which exhibited excellent two-electron (2e) ORR performance with high H2O2 selectivity of 89.

ConspectusIn the search for efficient and selective electrocatalysts capable of converting greenhouse gases to value-added products, enzymes found in naturally existing bacteria provide the basis for most approaches toward electrocatalyst design. Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Ni,Fe-CODH) is one such enzyme, with a nickel-iron-sulfur cluster named the C-cluster, where CO binds and is converted to CO at high rates near the thermodynamic potential. In this Account, we divide the enzyme's catalytic contributions into three categories based on location and function.

The prominence of binuclear catalysts underlines the need for the design and development of diverse bifunctional ligand frameworks that exhibit tunable electronic and structural properties. Such strategies enable metal-metal and ligand-metal cooperation towards catalytic applications, improve catalytic activity, and are essential for advancing multi-electron transfers for catalytic application. Hereby, we present the synthesis, crystal structure, and photocatalytic properties of a binuclear Ni(II) complex, [Ni2(1,10-phenanthroline)2(2-sulfidophenolate)2] (1), which crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic system (P-1) showing extensive intra- and inter- non-coordinated interactions.
