Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted great interest from researchers from academic
and industrial areas because of their interesting structural features and unique …

Lignocellulosic biomass represents the largest potential volume and lowest cost for biofuel
and biochemical production. Pretreatment is an essential component of biomass conversion …

Detailed insight into the structure and composition of industrial (technical) lignins is needed
to devise efficient thermal, bio-or chemocatalytic valorisation strategies. Six such technical …

Plant cell walls constitute the majority of lignocellulosic biomass and serve as a renewable
resource of biomaterials and biofuel. Extensive interactions between polysaccharides and …

A sustainable and renewable biorefinery will increase the economic viability of
lignocellulose-derived products. In this study, a diol-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) was …

Lignin is the only sustainable aromatic resource in nature, its utilization has attracted much
attention worldwide. Oxidation is one of the promising strategies that can convert lignin to a …

To achieve the global bio-based recycling economy with lignocellulosic biomass as
feedstock, the additional value must be gained from both carbohydrates and lignin. In this …

Reducing the “biomass recalcitrance” and simultaneously improving the efficiency of
deconstruction and conversion is vitally important in a biorefinery process. Herein, a …

Lignin nanoparticles offer a way for a high value use of the renewable resources. However,
there are few green and facile methods so far for producing lignin nanoparticles with both …

Lignin represents the most abundant source of renewable aromatic resources, and the
depolymerization of lignin has been identified as a prominent challenge to produce low …
