Biochars were produced via pyrolysis at 450, 550, and 650 °C, yielding samples labeled SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3, respectively. The production of glycerol carbonate through the transesterification of glycerol and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) was selected as a model reaction to evaluate the catalytic efficacy of these biochars. This approach aligns with the principles of green chemistry, addressing the effective utilization of biomass waste and excess glycerol while contributing to a circular economy. Characterization using FTIR, XRD, TGA, N₂ adsorption, and SEM-EDX analyses revealed significant effects of pyrolysis temperature on the physicochemical properties of the biochars, including yield, pH, surface area, and mineral content. Higher pyrolysis temperatures led to increased porosity, surface area, and mineral content, which enhanced catalytic performance. Under optimized conditions, the catalytic activity of SSB1, SSB2, and SSB3 was evaluated at a reaction temperature of 110 °C, a catalyst loading of 5 wt%, a reaction period of 20 min, and a DMC-to-glycerol molar ratio of 5:1. Among the biochars, SSB3 demonstrated the highest catalytic activity, achieving a glycerol conversion rate of 65.3% and glycerol carbonate selectivity of 53.4%.

In this study, a facile two-step method, comprising solvothermal and hydrothermal, was used to synthesize visible-light-responsive CdS/MoS<sub>2</sub> heterojunctions (CM-HJs). Extensive structural characterization was performed to assess the crystal structure (XRD and XPS), morphology (SEM and BET), and optical (UV-Vis) properties of the as-synthesized photocatalysts.

Among the heterojunctions, CM-10 (10 wt % MoS<sub>2</sub>) exhibted the highest acvtivty, reducing 99.04% of Cr(VI) within 60 min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to its high light harvesting capability and efficient separation and transportation of the produced electron-hole pairs due to the intimate contact interfaces and matching band potentials of CdS with MoS<sub>2</sub>. Based on the literature and experimental evidence, a photocatalytic mechanism for the photoreduction of Cr(VI) is discussed in detail.
