Hematite-modified calcined bamboo biochar composite enhances soil biochemical functioning and reduces antimony phytoavailability in agricultural soil

Antimony (Sb) contamination severely threatens soil quality, ecological functioning, and crop productivity in agricultural systems. This study investigated the potential of a calcined bamboo biochar–hematite composite (BHC) to reduce Sb phytoavailability and improve soil biochemi...

Redox-active coordination catalysts for selective thermochemical valorization of biowaste: Mechanistic insights and structure-performance relationships

The growing demand for renewable energy has intensified global efforts to transform biowastes into value-added fuels and chemicals rather than viewing them as disposal challenges. Derived mainly from lignocellulosic and other organic residues, these wastes are rich in carbon and...
