  Wo, Defang; Bi, Guican; Li, Lianhua; Kang, Xihui; Kong, Xiaoying; Jiang, Enchen; Xie, Jun (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-08-12)

  The addition of iron oxides in anaerobic digestion can increase conversion efficiency. In this study, we investigated the effects of the addition of Fe2O3, Fe2O3 nanoparticles, Fe3O4, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different ...
• Improvement in biohydrogen and volatile fatty acid production from seaweed through addition of conductive carbon materials depends on the properties of the conductive materials 

  Deng, Chen; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Wu, Benteng; Wall, David M.; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2022-01)

  Fermentative production of biohydrogen and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from advanced feedstocks such as seaweed provides opportunities in the carbon-neutral bioeconomy. The gap in the state of the art exists in overcoming ...
• Improved robustness of ex-situ biological methanation for electro-fuel production through the addition of graphene 

  Wu, Benteng; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Deng, Chen; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2021-12)

  Ex-situ biomethanation (CO2 + 4H(2)-> CH4 + 2H(2)O) can simultaneously achieve renewable electricity storage and CO2 valorisation. However, fluctuations in variable renewable electricity may lead to intermittent hydrogen ...
• What physicochemical properties of biochar facilitate interspecies electron transfer in anaerobic digestion: a case study of digestion of whiskey by-products 

  Deng, Chen; Lin, Richen; Kang, Xihui; Wu, Benteng; Wall, David M.; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2021-12)

  The efficiency of microbial interspecies electron transfer between syntrophic bacteria and methanogens is considered a rate-limiting factor for the overall efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD). Stimulating interspecies ...
• Production of advanced fuels through integration of biological, thermo-chemical and power to gas technologies in a circular cascading bio-based system 

  Wu, Benteng; Lin, Richen; O'Shea, Richard; Deng, Chen; Rajendran, Karthik; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier, 2021-01)

  In the transition to a climate neutral future, the transportation sector needs to be sustainably decarbonized. Producing advanced fuels (such as biomethane) and bio-based valorised products (such as pyrochar) may offer a ...
