Abstract
Green light was documented to improve the photostability of fatty acid photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis (CvFAP). Compared to blue light, green light increased the pentadecane yield by 27.6% and improved the residual activity of CvFAP to 5.9-fold after the preillumination. Kinetics and thermodynamics indicated that blue light facilitated a high CvFAP activity.

Abstract
Elucidation of the intrinsic catalytic principle of iron carbides remains a substantial challenge in iron-catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), due to possible interference from other Fe-containing species. Here, we propose a facile approach to synthesize single-phase θ-Fe3C via the pyrolysis of a molecularly defined Fe-C complex (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3), thus affording close examination of its catalytic behavior during FTS. The crystal structure of prepared θ-Fe3C is unambiguously verified by combined XRD and MES measurement, demonstrating its single-phase nature. Strikingly, single-phase θ-Fe3C exhibited excellent selectivity to light olefins (77.8%) in the C2-C4 hydrocarbons with less than 10% CO2 formation in typical FTS conditions. This strategy further succeeds with promotion of Mn, evident for its wide-ranging compatibility for the promising industrial development of catalysts. This work offers a facile approach for oriented preparation of single-phase θ-Fe3C and provides an in-depth understanding of its intrinsic catalytic performance in FTS.

Direct Construction of K-Fe3C@C Nanohybrids Utilizing Waste Biomass of Pomelo Peel as High-Performance Fischer–Tropsch Catalysts. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
As the only renewable organic carbon source, abundant biomass has long been established and developed to mass-produce functionalized carbon materials. Herein, an extremely facile and green strategy was executed for the first time to in situ construct K-Fe3C@C nanohybrids directly by one-pot carbonizing the pomelo peel impregnated with Fe(NO3)3 solutions. The pyrolytically self-assembled nanohybrids were successfully applied in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) and demonstrated high catalytic performance. Accordingly, the optimized K-Fe3C@C catalysts revealed excellent FTS activity (92.6% CO conversion) with highlighted C5+ hydrocarbon selectivity of 61.3% and light olefin (C2-4=) selectivity of 26.0% (olefin/paraffin (O/P) ratio of 6.2). Characterization results further manifest that the high performance was correlated with the in situ formation of the core-shell nanostructure consisting of Fe3C nanoparticles enwrapped by graphitized carbon shells and the intrinsic potassium promoter originated in pomelo peel during high-temperature carbonization. This work provided a facile approach for the low-cost mass-fabrication of high-performance FTS catalysts directly utilizing waste biomass without any chemical pre-treatment or purification.
