The latest research has contributed significantly to the development of innovative techniques of biochar (BC) modification that go beyond conventional pyrolytic processing of biomass. These treatments usually increase textural parameters and surface chemistry of BC, thereby enhancing its ability to bind various species. High adsorption capacity makes it an effective carrier for nutrients essential for crops or an efficient immobilizer limiting availability of toxic compounds. So far, it was noted that modified BC has a satisfied impact on soil aeration, water retention, and growth of soil microorganisms, stimulating overall agroecosystem functionality.

Additionally, the integration of these 3D-printed structures with other chemical compounds to enhance their functionalities is discussed. While 3D-printed resin-based structures demonstrate significant versatility and effectiveness, the adoption of AM in wastewater treatment has lagged compared to other sectors due to various technical and environmental challenges. Key concerns include the potential leaching of toxic resin components into the environment and the scalability of AM-based treatment systems. Despite these issues, the ability to customise and functionalize resin materials offers promising avenues for creating multifunctional structures tailored for pollutant remediation.

Water electrolysis to produce hydrogen is an ideal clean energy choice because of its high energy density and zero carbon emissions. However, fresh water, which accounts for less than 3 % of the worlds water supply is a high demand resource for people's livelihood. Seawater on the other hand, accounts for more than 70 % of the earth, making it much desirable as a source of hydrogen. For seawater to produce hydrogen, a more efficient, stable and longer-lasting catalyst would need to be developed. This would avoid chlorine evolution, a ‘competition’ reaction during oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which accelerates the corrosion process suppressing the lifespan of the catalyst. High entropy materials (HEM), a potential promising catalyst candidate, are able to reach much lower OER overpotentials and higher corrosion resistance due to their tunable electronic structures. In this work, we used a pulsed laser irradiation scanning on mixed salt solutions (PLMS) method to produce a six element, high entropy ceramic nanoparticles as an OER catalyst for efficient and stable work in seawater environments (Yang et al., 2021). The (AlCoCrFeMnNi)O high-entropy ceramic (HEC) we proposed demonstrate a great performance in the seawater environment. The onset voltage of oxygen-evolution can reach as low as to 1.47 <em>V vs.</em> reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), and in terms of stability, our catalyst can operate for 1000 h under 100 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>. Furthermore, to understand the mechanism behind our (AlCoCrFeMnNi)O HEC, the <em>in-situ</em> X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurement and <em>In-situ</em> extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) are carried out in this work with varying applied voltages for OER. Co, Mn, and Ni identified as the active sites of OER and these three elements work intimately together, each with different reaction routes, including the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and lattice oxygen-participated mechanism (LOM). While Al, Cr, and Fe are not directly linked to the catalytic activity, they do play important roles to stabilize the high entropy structure throughout the whole reaction. Finally, a computational model was created using a 2x1x2 supercell to study various atom distributions. This study utilizes DFT calculations, geometry optimization, and electron density mapping.
