The Possibility of Future Biofuels Production Using Waste Carbon Dioxide and Solar Energy

Surface-Modified Titanium Dioxide Nanofibers with Gold Nanoparticles for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

“…Various morphologies of TiO 2 and their different synthesis routes have been studied [13][14][15][16][17]. Among them, the preparation of nanofibers by using the electrospinning technique has attracted much attention because it offers a high specific surface area and a mesoporous structure, which provides many reaction sites [18]. Moreover, electrospinning is a cost-effective, versatile, and simple technique.…”

Introductory Chapter: Prospective Biofuels

“…In addition, the use of food for energy purposes is considered to be unethical ("food competition"), and in turn, energy crops can cause disturbances in "biodiversity" and the occurrence of scarcity of land for cultivation for the agri-food industry, the so-called "land hunger" ("ground competition"). Therefore, it should be considered technical, operational, and environmental, as the right way to replace first-generation biofuels with second-generation and higher-generation biofuels [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…Taking into account the demand for biofuels that meet the requirements of future sources of propulsion for means of transport, including air transport, as well as limiting carbon dioxide emissions, in terms of future fuels, the following biofuels will be preferred along with the technological paths of their production [1,[3][4][5][6][7]:…”

Phenazines as chemosensors of solution analytes and as sensitizers in organic photovoltaics

“…12 This is important since greater than 50% of the solar radiation incident on earth falls in the visible to NIR region. 30 Suitable materials with low bandgap implying red-shifted absorptions can be created by incorporation of donor and acceptor groups in the molecule, whereby the HOMO is delocalized over the entire molecule though extensive charge transfer, but the LUMO is mostly centered on the acceptor moiety. Phenazines and thiadiazole extended phenazines with two thiophene units were synthesized as shown in Scheme 11 as donor-acceptor-donor charge transport materials.…”
