Biodiesel creation involves several different processes and technologies, each aiming to convert feedstock like vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled greases into a renewable fuel. The most prevalent method is transesterification, where the triglycerides in the feedstock react with an alcohol, typically methanol or ethanol, in the presence of a

Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles have emerged as versatile materials for a wide range of applications. These nanoparticles consist of a metallic silver core enveloped by a silica shell, offering unique properties that stem from the synergistic combination between these two components. The synthesis of Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles typically involves a mul

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanocrystals with unique optical and electronic properties that make them highly desirable for a variety of applications. However, their full potential can be further exploited by engineering their surfaces to achieve specific functionalities. Surface modification allows for the binding of functional groups or
