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 …

Background Lignin, nature's dominant aromatic polymer, is found in most terrestrial plants in
the approximate range of 15 to 40% dry weight and provides structural integrity …

Heterogeneity and rigidity of lignocellulose causing resistance to its deconstruction have
provided technical and economic challenges in the current biomass conversion processes …

Lignin is highly branched phenolic polymer and accounts 15–30% by weight of
lignocellulosic biomass (LCBM). The acceptable molecular structure of lignin is composed …

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that lignin nanoparticles
(LNPs) are a new kind of green and sustainable material with potential applications in many …

Lignin, a biological resource with great potential, can be as high as∼ 16% of the total
organics in the waste activated sludge (WAS). This work therefore aims to fill the knowledge …

In recent years, lignin-based nanomaterials have become increasingly relevant for
researchers and producers of functional material applications due to their green and …

The molecular weight of lignin is a fundamental property that influences the recalcitrance of
biomass and the valorization of lignin. The determination of the molecular weight of lignin in …

Stabilization of reactive intermediates is an enabling concept in biomass fractionation and
depolymerization. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are intriguing green reaction media for …

In the present study, two kinds of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were facilely prepared and
adopted to drastically disturb the recalcitrance of corncobs for further boosting sugar yields …
