Evaluation of a New Cerium Oxide-Bismuth Oxide-Based Nanobiocomposite as a Biocatalyst for Biodiesel Production

Biodiesel is a promising renewable energy source that can be used together with other biofuels to help meet the growing energy needs of the rapidly increasing global population in an environmentally friendly way. In search for new and more efficient biodiesel production methods, this work reports on...
