Despite the enormous research efforts in recent years regarding lignin depolymerisation and
functionalisation, few commercial products are available. This review provides a summary …

In pursuit of more sustainable and competitive biorefineries, the effective valorisation of
lignin is key. An alluring opportunity is the exploitation of lignin as a resource for chemicals …

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source of aromatic building blocks
on the planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for the production of …

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

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising lignin-first
biorefinery strategy that yields nearly theoretical amounts of phenolic monomers by …

In-depth structural analysis of biorefined lignin is imperative to understand its
physicochemical properties, essential for its efficient valorization to renewable materials and …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) has emerged as a leading biomass fractionation and
lignin valorization strategy. Here, flowthrough reactors were used to investigate RCF of …

The ratio of syringyl (S) and guaiacyl (G) units in lignin has been regarded as a major factor
in determining the maximum monomer yield from lignin depolymerization. This limit arises …

A reductive lignocellulose fractionation in a flow-through system in which pul** and
transfer hydrogenolysis steps were separated in time and space has been developed …

Herein, a lignin-centered convergent approach to produce either aliphatic or aromatic bio-
hydrocarbons is introduced. First, poplar or spruce wood was deconstructed by a lignin-first …
