About This Topic
The special issue "Recent Advances on Immobilized Biocatalysts" in the journal Catalysis Research (ISSN 2771-490X) aims to highlight the significant progress in the field of biocatalysis through immobilization techniques. Immobilized biocatalysts have emerged as a cornerstone in sustainable chemistry, offering enhanced stability, reusability, and efficiency compared to their free counterparts. This issue will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including innovative immobilization methods, the development of novel support materials, and the optimization of bioreactor designs for industrial applications. Contributions that explore the integration of nanotechnology and bioengineering to improve enzyme performance are particularly encouraged. By addressing the challenges and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, this special issue seeks to foster collaboration and inspire future research directions, ultimately contributing to the advancement of green chemistry and bioprocessing technologies. Authors are invited to share their findings, insights, and perspectives to enrich the discourse surrounding immobilized biocatalysts and their application in various sectors.
Keywords
