Blooms of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in water reservoirs frequently produce highly toxic secondary metabolites including microcystins which have resulted in both human and animal fatalities. To tackle this global problem, we present here a viab...

Using cellulose polymorphs for enhanced hydrogen production from photocatalytic reforming. (2019)
Journal Article
CHANG, C., SKILLEN, N., NAGARAJAN, S., RALPHS, K., IRVINE, J.T.S., LAWTON, L. and ROBERTSON, P.K.J. 2019. Using cellulose polymorphs for enhanced hydrogen production from photocatalytic reforming. Sustainable energy and fuels [online], 3(8), pages 1971-1975. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/c9se00377k

Efficient energy production and waste valorisation are the most challenging fields in photocatalysis. Reported here is enhanced hydrogen production from cellulose, achieved through the conversion of cellulose I to II via a simple pretreatment step.
