Biomass conversion to amyloid fibrillation for maximizing non-metallic electrocatalysis activity: Mechanisms, real antibiotic wastewater validation, and life cycle assessment

Key Points

• Maximizing electrocatalysis activity involves the conversion of biomass into amyloid fibrillation, leading to enhanced performance.
• The study shows that this method can increase efficiency in treating antibiotic wastewater by 30% compared to traditional methods.
• Real antibiotic wastewater validation was carried out to assess the effectiveness of the proposed conversion mechanisms.
• Life cycle assessment highlights potential environmental benefits from integrating this biomass conversion method.
