TL;DR: Recent developments in the use of nanomaterials as new carriers to construct robust nano-biocatalytic systems are reviewed, and future trends are pointed out in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the development of stable and cost-effective lipases, ultrasonication and microwave-assisted treatment for biodiesel synthesis, solvent engineering, synergetics of different lipases and kinetics and reaction mechanism for enzymatic transesterification, potentially cheap feedstocks, and economic efficacy analysis has been provided.

TL;DR: An ultrasound-assisted biocatalysis process in RTILs was used to improve mass transfer rate, leading to 83% reduction of the reaction time for biodiesel production, and anion selection had a greater influence on biodiesel conversion than cation choice.

TL;DR: A new technique of biodiesel production from Sapium sebiferum oil catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia G63 prepared in the laboratory was investigated, and the Box-Behnken design was employed to evaluate the effects of those significant factors on yield.

TL;DR: A polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer was grafted onto magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (m-MWCNTs) to combine magnetic properties with a large surface functionalized with amino groups as mentioned in this paper.
