In this study, CAT was effectively immobilized onto the onion inner epidermis (OIE) via adsorption and cross-linking techniques, aiming to improve its catalytic activity, stability and reusability. The optimization of the immobilization process was carried out by evaluating key factors, including CAT concentration, OIE quantity, adsorption duration, and cross-linker concentration. The immobilized CAT exhibited a significant improvement in thermal stability, retaining 50% activity at 60 °C compared to 30% for the free enzyme. Similarly, it displayed enhanced pH stability, maintaining 70% activity at pH 5.5 and pH 8.5, while the free enzyme retained only 50% and 60%, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed a higher V<sub>max</sub> (2.26 × 10<sup>−4</sup> µmol H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/min) and lower K<sub>m</sub> (3.36 mM) for the immobilized enzyme, indicating improved catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity.

This study demonstrates that immobilized CAT on OIE is a promising biocatalyst for agricultural and food industries, where it can be utilized for H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> detoxification, food preservation, and wastewater treatment.

This experiment employed the molten salt method for the synthesis of MXenes. This approach is beneficial as it effectively mitigates the influence of fluorine groups on the electrochemical characteristics of MXenes. A study was conducted on the effects of doping with two distinct nitrogen sources: urea and lithium nitride. The microstructures and electrochemical characteristics were analyzed to ascertain the most effective preparation and nitrogen doping methods.

Subsequently, lithium nitride was selected as the nitrogen source, resulting in the synthesis of MXenes with enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction performance. The studied HER cathode material exhibited a distinctly defined layered structure with significantly increased interlayer gap. This led to an increased surface area and a higher density of active sites. The electrochemical test findings indicated an overpotential of 82 millivolts at a current density of 10 milliamperes per square centimeter, with a Tafel slope of 120.4 millivolts per degree.
