Transitioning from fossil dependence toward sustainable fuel architecture requires green chemical pathways capable of generating drop-in hydrocarbon biofuels directly from biomass. Herein, we present a metal-free, visible-light-driven photoredox strategy employing a sodium iodide and triphenylphosphine (NaI/PPh 3 ) catalytic system for the selective hydrodecarboxylation of long-chain fatty acid-d…

Many of Canada’s Indigenous populations depend on bottled water due to long-term drinking water advisories in their communities. Solar-powered multi-effect distillation has been demonstrated to be a sustainable solution for producing clean water for domestic use. However, there is a lack of research regarding its suitability for small-scale plants in northern climates. In this study, a building-i…
