Abstract: With the increasing global demand for energy and environmental pressure,the application of immobilized lipase in the sustainable biodiesel production has received extensive attentions. Nanomaterials,including nanoparticles(magnetic and non-magnetic),carbon nanotubes and electrospun nanofibers,with the advantages of large surface area,stability and easy modification,have been considered as important supports for lipase immobilization. The application of nanomaterials as enzyme support in lipase immobilization is presented. Moreover,the current status of biodiesel production using a variety of nano-immobilized lipase is discussed,and the outlook of nano-immobilized lipase is also prospected. It is aimed at laying a foundation for further research and industrial application of immobilized lipase.

Key words: nanomaterials, lipase, immobilization, biodiesel
