Considerable progress has been made in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is highly thermodynamically stable, into liquid hydrocarbons using metal oxide/zeolite composite catalysts. Nevertheless, producing liquid hydrocarbons with a single catalyst without utilizing additional C–C coupling agents remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report a bifunctional iron aluminum oxide (FeAlOx) catalyst that directly converts CO2 into C5+ hydrocarbons with an overall selectivity of 77.0% an

Thermal treatment can initiate the production of some undesirable compounds in foods during processing. Acrylamide is one among such compounds that is produced (in starch-rich foods) as a result of Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and free amino acids. Acrylamide has gained much attention owing to its wide occurrence, dietary exposure, and toxicity. Its formation mechanism and mitigation has been an area of interest for numerous researchers since its discovery in foods. Some reviews hav

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) show remarkable properties in various food applications. In this review paper, EPS composition, structural characterization, biosynthesis pathways, and recent advancements in the context of application of EPS-producing Lactobacillus spp. in different food industries are discussed. Various chemical and physical properties of Lactobacillus EPS, such as the structural, rheological, and shelf-life enhancement of different food products, are mentioned. Moreover, EPSs play a ch

• MOF-derived catalysts using various synthetic strategies were reviewed. • Electro-, thermo-, and photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to C 1 were presented. • Reaction mechanisms using in-situ characterization were reviewed. • The reaction pathways to C 1 based on DFT calculations were presented. The conversion of CO 2 to value-added chemicals garners considerable attention because it produces renewable hydrocarbon fuels for use in the chemical industry and simultaneously reduces the atmospheric C
