About this Research Topic
Clean renewable bioenergy refers to energy that is derived from organic matter, such as plants, agricultural crops, organic industry wastewater, and animal waste in environmentally friendly ways. There are several new technologies that have been proposed to produce clean renewable bioenergy, including microbial fuel cells (MFCs), up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, transesterification, and microelectrolysis cells, to name a few. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and non-renewable, renewable bioenergy can be produced indefinitely as long as the organic matter is available. The use of nanostructures in bioenergy production can increase efficiency, reduce cost, and improve the overall performance of energy systems. However, the development of nanostructured materials for bioenergy applications also presents several challenges. Development of efficient and cost-effective methods for the large-scale production of nanostructured materials is a challenge. Moreover, the use of nanostructures in bioenergy applications also poses potential risks to human health and the environment. Hence, the development of nanostructured materials for clean and renewable bioenergy applications presents several challenges, but also offers promising opportunities. Further research is needed to address the challenges and to explore the potential of nanostructures in bioenergy production.
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art and the future prospects of using nanostructured materials for clean and renewable bioenergy applications. It aims to highlight the latest developments in the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanostructured materials for bioenergy production. In addition, the collection will provide a platform for researchers to share their findings, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations in this important area of research. Moreover, the topic will address the challenges associated with the large-scale production and use of nanostructured materials for bioenergy applications, such as toxicity and biocompatibility issues, and explore potential solutions.
We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
• Nanostructure applications for microbial fuel cells
• Nanostructures for up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB)
• Nanostructures in green hydrogen production
• Nanostructures for microelectrolysis cells
• Nanostructural bioanodes
• Advanced electrochemical nanodevices
