Electrode Integration of Synthetic Hydrogenase as Bioinspired and Noble Metal-Free Cathodes for Hydrogen Evolution

TL;DR: Brezinski et al. as mentioned in this paper reported on the synthesis and characterization of a library of metallo-copolymers featuring a bio-inspired diiron active site and internal proton relays based on a previous report.

Constraints to commercialization of algal fuels

usuf Chisti
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the major constraints to commercialization of transport fuels from microalgae and identify the most important long-term objectives for the development of a nitrogen biofixation ability to support algal fuel production.

Mikroalglerle Biyogaz Çamurunun Arıtımı

TL;DR: Kuresel isinma, bugun dunyada endise veren sorun haline gelmistir. Kuresel iklim degisikliginin temel kaynagi insan faaliyetleri icin ihtiyac duyulan enerjiyi saglayan fosil yakitlardan aciga cikan sera gazlarinin artan miktarlaridir.
