Physical chemistry aspects are emphasized in this comprehensive review of self-assembly
phenomena involving lignin in various forms. Attention to this topic is justified by the very …

Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as a promising desalination technology owing to
its moderate operating conditions, compatibility with renewable energy, insensitivity to feed …

Herein, lignin was functionalized to obtain quinonoid lignin (QL) and epoxidized lignin (EL),
and cellulose was modified to be aminated cellulose (AC). A novel fully bio-based adhesive …

In this work, a rapid one-pot hydrated deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment was
proposed to facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates from lignocellulosic biomass to …

Simultaneously achieving high Li leaching efficiency and Li/Co selectivity from lithium-ion
batteries cathode at mild condition with high sustainability is difficult up to now. To achieve …

Lignocellulose utilization has the unique feature of net-zero carbon emissions. Thus, the
utilization of lignocellulose as a renewable alternative to fossil-based carbon resources is …

Recycling spent polyesters, a widely used type of plastic, is highly important for a circular
economy but remains a great challenge. Herein, biomass-derived dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) …

Sustainable processing of lignocellulosic biomass is meaningful for comprehensive biomass
conversion. Here, a ball milling (BM) assisted biomass-derived ethylene glycol (BEG) …

Utilization of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to extract lignin is a highly attractive strategy for
biomass upgrading. Although acidic DESs have been extensively investigated, alkaline …

Balancing efficient fractionation with the structural intactness of lignin in lignocellulose
pretreatment remains challenging. An innovative strategy with selective lignin solubilization …
