Urbanization has driven the demand for fossil fuels, however, the overly exploited resource
has caused severe damage on environmental pollution. Biorefining using abundant …

Efficiently producing second-generation biofuels from biomass is of strategic significance
and meets sustainability targets, but it remains a long-term challenge due to the existence of …

Rapid increment in fossil-derived single-use plastic disposal has led to human-made plastic
mountains and leading to ecological imbalance. Therefore, the development of alternative …

Lignin is a natural aromatic polymer of p-hydroxyphenylpropanoids with various biological
activities. Noticeably, plants have made use of lignin as biocides to defend themselves from …

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 …

The efficient valorization of lignin could dictate the success of the 2nd generation biorefinery.
Lignin, accounting for on average a third of the lignocellulosic biomass, is the most …

Sustainable biorefinery depends on the development of efficient processes to convert locally
abundant, energy-rich renewable biomass into fuels, chemicals, and materials …

Hydrolyzing lignocellulose, the most abundant biomass raw material in nature, into
monosaccharides by enzymes and then transforming the sugars into chemicals and fuels by …

Organosolv pretreatment effectively fractionates lignocellulosic biomass for efficient
enzymatic hydrolysis, yielding fermentable sugars. However, substantial lignin redeposition …

A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the
depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple …
