Researchers led by Professor Kazuhiko Maeda at the Institute of Science Tokyo have significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of KGF-9, a coordination polymer for CO2 conversion, by using a microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis method. This approach reduced production time from two days to one hour and enhanced the material's surface area and crystallinity, resulting in a near ten-fold increase in photocatalytic efficiency. With a record-high apparent quantum yield of 25%, this breakthrough positions KGF-9 as a promising candidate for sustainable CO2 conversion technologies, with potential applications in both photocatalysis and electrocatalysis.

Bio4MatPro INSIDE: Project "𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗥2 - Stimulated adhesion failure by electricity for repair and recycling" is part of 𝗕𝗶𝗼4𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗣𝗿𝗼 area 2, which focuses on two key technologies to enable innovations for a sustainable circular economy and a biological transformation of industries via a modular, biocompatible and scalable production technology. Over time, adhesives have replaced other joining technologies like screws, welding, soldering due to certain advantages, such as flat, stress-minimizing force transmission, corrosion protection in the bonding gap, material and design freedom or miniaturizability. Highly integrated combinations of properties are increasingly in demand, e.g. products with specific thermal/electrical properties or optically transparent systems for display applications. Modern high-strength adhesive systems are therefore often multifunctional, but the bond is still not sufficiently reversible. Switchable adhesives in the sense of targeted debonding on demand (DoD) are therefore a long-cherished dream of the adhesives industry that would simplify repair and recycling. Aim of SAVER2 is to develop new debonding concepts for “Debonding On Demand” (DOD) adhesives. SAVER2 will draw on the principles of nature, the use of renewable resources and biotechnological concepts. New solution approaches, inspired by the diverse and finely balanced interaction possibilities of biological systems, are intended to contribute to an eco-efficient circular economy in application and production. This biologization of technology is intended to combine the advantages of conventional structural adhesives with the switchability and bioavailability of oligo- and polymers containing catechol in particular. The project 𝗦𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗥2 is funded by the German ministry for research and education (BMBF) as one of the 23 projects currently running at the competence center Bio4MatPro. Each of the working groups involved contributes special expertise from the fields of biotechnology (Institute of Biotechnology at RWTH Aachen University – Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schwaneberg, Institute of Bio- and Geosciences IBG-1 at Forschungszentrum Jülich – Prof. Dr. Nick Wierckx), physical chemistry (Chair of Colloids and Nanooptics at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf – Prof. Dr. Matthias Karg), polymerization (Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf – Prof. Dr. Laura Hartmann) and catalysis (Chair of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University – Sonja Herres-Pawlis, Institute for Technical and Macromolecular Chemistry (ITMC) - RWTH Aachen – Prof. Dr. Jürgen Klankermeyer). Combined with the extensive experience in adhesive formulation of experts at Henkel, the different approaches are accompanied and evaluated with regard to application and industrial implementation. #bio4matpro #biologischetransformation #biotechnologie #biobasiert #bioinspiriert #schaltbareklebstoffe

Green Synthesis Technique Green synthesis techniques make use of moderately pollutant-free chemicals to synthesize nanomaterials and embrace the use of bengin solvents such as water and natural extracts. Green chemistry seeks to reduce pollution. It is enhanced to prevent waste and not to treat or clean up waste after it is formed. This principle focuses on choosing reagents that façade the least risk and generates only benevolent by-products. Though physical and chemical methods are trendier for nanoparticle synthesis, the biogenic fabrication is a better choice due to eco-friendliness.Nanoparticles due to their smaller size and large surface to volume ratio exhibit remarkable novel properties and methodical applications in the field of biotechnology, sensors, medical, catalysis, devices, DNA labelling and drug delievery, and they are rewardingly treated as a bridge between bulk material and atomic and molecular structures. The green route for nanoparticle synthesis is great interest due to eco-friendliness, economic prospects, feasibility and wide range of applications in nanomedicine, catalysis, nanoplatinum electronics etc. It is a new and emerging area of research in the scientific world where day-by-day developments are noted in warranting a bright future for this field. The synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles using green biological methods are favoured for the synthesis companied to physical and chemical methods that are very expensive, environment polluting, consuming more energy, sophisticated and time consuming processes. It is significant that the nanoparticle production using plants described in the present review displays important advantages over other biological systems.The low cost of cultivation, short production time, safety and the ability to increase production volumes make plants an attractive platform for nanoparticle synthesis.
