“…72 The primary synthetic methods have been employed in the production of biodiesel, encompassing non-catalytic conversion, nano-fibers (such as ZnO/Ni-SBA-16@GO, SiO 2 -Cu@Fe 2 O 3 nanofibers), acidcatalyzed transesterification (use of H 2 SO 4 , HCl, HSO 3 and many others) and alkali-catalyzed trans-esterification. [73][74][75][76][77] In the trans-esterification process, acid catalysts produce extremely high yields. 78 Moreover, nano-fiber catalysts are proven to produce 98% of biodiesel at 70 °C and 7 h reaction time.…”

Fossil fuels widely satisfy the world's energy demands; however, they are absolutely unsustainable. Rational energy management is therefore one of humanity's greatest challenges in the 21st century. The sustainable resources of energy are speculated to minimize the global environmental challenges and consequences concerning the air and water quality, greenhouse effect, acid rain, etc. Biofuels-widely regarded as "fuel of future"- are a type of sustainable fuel, extracted immediately from living matter that is most likely produced over and again. Biofuels are majorly categorized into four groups based on the types of biomasses utilized as their raw material that including food crops, agricultural and industrial wastes and algae. A significant portion of lignocellulosic biomass consists of agricultural residues, presenting an opportunity to use them as a feedstock for generating biofuels. Agricultural wastes encompass more than just residues from cultivation; they also comprise wastes generated during the processing of agricultural products, livestock management, and distribution of fruits and vegetables. This review highlights the use of agricultural residues for the production of various types of Biofuels. Agricultural residues can be pretreated and treated through a myriad number of methods, for instance, acid catalysis, anaerobic digestion, hydrothermal carbonization, simultaneous saccharification, transesterification and pyrolysis; for the production of biodiesel, biogas, hydro-char, syngas and bioethanol. Each of these methods has several benefits and drawbacks since they are all conditional on some factors. Furthermore, the following study also mentions the advantages and disadvantages of biofuel production and usage.

“…Yao et al reported the esterification catalyzed by commercial graphene oxide, and the catalytic effect was not obvious (the ester yield: 33%), which may be due to the weak electron-hole oxidation ability ( Yao et al, 2022 ). Hussain et al prepared ZnO/Ni-SBA-16@GO composite photocatalyst for conversion of waste edible oil into biodiesel with good activity under 500 W Xe lamp irradiation, and the conversion rate was as high as 98% ( Athar Hussain et al, 2022 ). Similar to graphene-semiconductor materials, as doped with graphene on the semiconductor, VB above would produce donor level (introduction of C 2p orbital), leading to the semiconductor VB upshift and narrow band gap.…”

Biodiesel considered a green, environmentally friendly, and renewable energy source is one of the most promising candidates to replace fossil fuels to supply energy for the world. The conventional thermocatalytic methods have been extensively explored for producing biodiesel, while inevitably encountering some drawbacks, such as harsh operating conditions and high energy consumption. The catalytic production of biodiesel under mild conditions is a research hotspot but with difficulty. Photocatalysis has recently been highlighted as an eco-friendly and energy-saving approach for biodiesel production. This mini-review summarizes typical photocatalysts for biodiesel production and discusses in detail the catalytic mechanism and strategies of the photo-driven (trans)esterification to produce biodiesel. The current challenges and future opportunities of photo-driven catalysis to prepare biodiesel are also outlined, in steps towards guiding the design of advanced photocatalysts for biodiesel production.

Biodiesel, touted as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, has attracted interest due to its environmentally friendly nature, renewability, and high combustion yield. This study utilized K2O/RGO heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production through the transesterification of sunflower and waste cooking oils. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was prepared from graphite via the modified Hummers' method and potassium was subsequently deposited on it. The K2O/RGO catalyst was characterized using a variety of techniques, including FTIR, SEM, XRD, ASAP, Raman spectroscopy, and TEM. The study further investigated the impacts of the temperature, molar ratio of methanol to oil, catalyst dose and time; and optimized the process with the response surface method. The characteristics of biodiesel fell within the ASTM D 6751 and EN 14214 standard ranges. The K2O/RGO catalyst demonstrated reusability for up to four cycles. Maximum biodiesel yields of 98.54% for sunflower oil and 96.89% for waste cooking oil were achieved under operating conditions of 70°C temperature, 19.5 methanol to oil molar ratio, 2 wt.% catalyst dose, and 8.5 h time duration.
