We report here the design and application of an all‐in‐one gas diffusion electrode (GDE) combined with surface immobilized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) capable in situ generation hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) from air simultaneous oxidation a model substrate (ABTS) within single‐cell electrochemical reactor. Carboxyl‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT‐COOH) were employed as electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction producing 719 ± 97 µM h −1 H at −0.2 V ( vs Ag/AgCl)...
The biological depolymerization of lignins has been intensively studied to develop selective and ecofriendly processes for upgrading lignin toward the production aromatic-based fine chemicals. However, degradation these aromatic polymers leads heterogeneous mixtures oligomers, limiting their industrial valorization. etherolytic pathway soil probacterium Sphingobium paucimobilis, which acts like a "metabolic funnel" refine "soup" low-molecular-mass lignin-derived compounds, involves enzymes...
Abstract Lignins, abundant aromatic biopolymers and one of the major components lignocellulosic biomass, remain most underutilized renewable bioresources aromatics hydrocarbons on Earth. Numerous physical chemical processes have been developed for lignin valorization; however, they generally suffer from environmentally unfriendly, harsh conditions lack reaction specificity. On other hand, milder methods involving biocatalysts exist but are impeded by many limitations, such as cofactor...
For redox active organic molecules (ROMs) used in grid-scale energy storage applications, such as flow batteries, solubility is an essential physicochemical property. Specifically, directly proportional to the volumetric density of device and thus affects its corresponding spatial footprint. Recently pyridiniums have been introduced a class ROMs with high persistence multiple states at low potentials. Unfortunately, pyridinium salts non-aqueous media remains (generally less than 1 M),...
