  • A team of scientists from Assam, Odisha, China, and the United Kingdom have developed a water-repellent catalyst.
  • It can cut the cost of producing “environmentally benign” biodiesel substantially from the current levels.
  • The process of arriving at the “spherical superhydrophobic activated carbon catalyst” to withstand water by-product during the production of biodiesel.
  • Superhydrophobic catalysts are imitating the anti-wetting or water-repulsing properties of natural surfaces such as lotus leaves.
  • The catalyst remains highly effective and can be reused multiple times, making the catalytic process more efficient and cost-effective.
