Abstract:
CDs are carbon fluorescent nanomaterials that have gained significant attention in recent years owing to their unique properties. In this work, we utilized a simple solution to produce CDs with func-tionalized amino groups via a one-step carbonization from a chitosan precursor. This simultaneous approach does not use special reagent for either the formation step or the amino-functionalization step of CDs. The as-prepared amino-functionalized CDs that possesses expected characteristics, such as nano-size distribution, monodispersible, high blue light emission, high absolute quantum yield of 5.52%, and functionalized amino groups on the surface. Furthermore, this work demonstrated the low cytotoxicity and high biocompatibility of the CDs, through the improvements in the astaxanthin production of alga Tetraselmis sp. (more than doubled (up to 0.044 mg/L), relative to the control). Thus, as-prepared CDs have promising properties not only for applications in bioimaging, drug delivery or sensors, but also as promoter in algal biorefinery

Abstract:
Photosynthetic microorganisms are among the fundamental living organisms exploited for millennia in many industrial applications, including the food chain, thanks to their adaptable behavior and intrinsic proprieties. The great multipotency of these photoautotroph microorganisms has been described through their attitude to become biofarm for the production of value-added compounds to develop functional foods and personalized drugs. Furthermore, such biological systems demonstrated their potential for green energy production (e.g., biofuel and green nanomaterials). In particular, the exploitation of photoautotrophs represents a concrete biorefinery system toward sustainability, currently a highly sought-after concept at the industrial level and for the environmental protection. However, technical and economic issues have been highlighted in the literature, and in particular, challenges and limitations have been identified. In this context, a new perspective has been recently considered to offer solutions and advances for the biomanufacturing of photosynthetic materials: the co-culture of photoautotrophs and bacteria. The rational of this review is to describe the recently released information regarding this microbial consortium, analyzing the critical issues, the strengths and the next challenges to be faced for the intentions attainment.

Abstract:
Acacia spp. are widespread all over the Portuguese territory, representing a threat to local biodiversity and to the productivity of the forest sector. The measures adopted in some countries for their eradication or to control their propagation are expensive, have been considered unfeasible from practical and economical perspectives, and have generated large amounts of residue that must be valorized in a sustainable way. This review brings together information on the valorization of bark, wood, leaves, flowers, pods, seeds, roots, and exudates from Acacia spp., through the production of high-value bioactive extracts (e.g., antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiviral, anthelmintic, or pesticidal agents, suitable to be explored by pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and food and feed industries), its incorporation in innovative materials (e.g., polymers and composites, nanomaterials, low-cost adsorbents), as well as through the application of advanced thermochemical processes (e.g., flash pyrolysis) and pre-treatments to decompose biomass in its structural components, regarding the production of biofuels along with valuable chemicals derived from cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The knowledge of this research is important to encourage an efficient and sustainable valorization of Acacia spp. within a biorefinery concept, which can bring a significant economic return from the valorization of these residues, simultaneously contributing to forest cleaning and management, to reduce the risk of fires, and to improve the social-economic development of rural areas.

Abstract:
Fuel cells (FC) are one of the most viable energy conversion devices that could replace fossil-fuel based energy production in the future. As the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) happening at the cathode side has slow kinetics, the usage of catalysts that speed up the process is inevitable. Most of the studied catalyst materials include precious metals or their alloys. Lately, the conversion of biomass to carbon nanomaterials and the usage of biomass-based carbons in different energy conversion systems has grown enormously [1]. Lignin among the major components of lignocellulosic biomass, which is mainly produced in the pulp and paper industry or in biorefineries. To fully unlock the potential of biorefineries, the components of lignocellulosic biomass (e.g. lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose) must be fractionated and valorized [2]. Currently, lignin is used to produce electricity and heat in factories or landfilled. Since the main component of lignin is carbon, it is possible to synthesize lignin-based carbon nanomaterials. In this work, lignin from a local Estonian biorefinery was used to produce high specific surface area nanocarbons that were studied as catalysts for the ORR. Different ways (two-step or one-step) and temperatures (700 or 800 °C) were used to carry out the carbonization and activation processes. In the second step, dicyandiamide was used to carry out the nitrogen doping at 800 °C. Electrochemical characterization of the N-doped industrial lignin-based carbon catalysts were carried out by employing rotating disc electrode method. We show that a simultaneous carbonization and activation process in the presence of NaOH is the most effective towards creating the best catalyst precursor for the ORR, as the lignin-derived nanocarbon shows higher electrochemical activity towards the ORR than commercial N-doped graphene (Fig 1).

Abstract:
AbstractBanana peel (BP) is an agrowaste produced in large volumes annually, especially by food-processing industries; however, its disposal is of significant concern. However, recent research suggests that BP is a valuable source of bioactive compounds, which can be converted into value-added products. This article reviews the conversion process of value-added products from BP and provides an outline on the chemical composition of BP and its possible applications. In addition, we also discuss the utilization of BP as a substrate to produce animal feed, biofertilizer, dietary fibers, clean energy, industrial enzymes, as well as its use in the synthesis of nanomaterials. Based on the research conducted so far, it is obvious that BP has a wide variety of applications, and thus, developing a biorefinery approach to adequately utilize BP will help realize its economic benefits to the fullest. Based on the valorization of BP, a scheme for BP biorefinery has been proposed. A material balance for BP biorefinery for 1-ton bone-dry BP is presented and our results show that 432 kg of protein or 170 kg of citric acid, 170 kg of pectin, 325 m

Abstract:
AbstractDeveloping tunable and stable peroxidase mimetics with high catalytic efficiency provides a promising opportunity to improve and expand enzymatic catalysis in lignin depolymerization. A class of peptoid-based peroxidase mimetics with tunable catalytic activity and high stability is developed by constructing peptoids and hemins into self-assembled crystalline nanomaterials. By varying peptoid side chain chemistry to tailor the microenvironment of active sites, these self-assembled peptoid/hemin nanomaterials (Pep/hemin) exhibit highly modulable catalytic activities toward two lignin model substrates 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine. Among them, a Pep/hemin complex containing the pyridyl side chain showed the best catalytic efficiency (Vmax/Km = 5.81 × 10−3 s−1). These Pep/hemin catalysts are highly stable; kinetics studies suggest that they follow a peroxidase-like mechanism. Moreover, they exhibit a high efficacy on depolymerization of a biorefinery lignin. Because Pep/hemin catalysts are highly robust and tunable, we expect that they offer tremendous opportunities for lignin valorization to high value products.
