The complexity and recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass seriously hinder its subsequent
conversion to liquid fuels. To achieve high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, the …

Plant biomass is a highly abundant renewable resource that can be converted into several
types of high-value-added products, including chemicals, biofuels and advanced materials …

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 …

The remarkable absorption capacity, biodegradability and non-toxicity of lignin
nanoparticles enable them to be appropriate vehicles for drug molecules and inorganic …

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer with a high carbon content and high aromaticity. Despite
its potential as a raw material for the fuel and chemical industries, lignin remains the most …

Chemical pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is essential for effective biological
conversion in subsequent steps to produce biofuels or biochemicals. For effective …

Here, we report on the ability of the biomass derived solvents ethanol and, in particular, n-
butanol to fractionate lignocellulose into its main components. An organosolv system …

Wood products are extensively used to make furniture items and construction materials;
however, the majority contain formaldehyde-based adhesives that raise serious health …

Photoreforming of lignocellulose is a promising approach toward sustainable H2 generation,
but this kinetically challenging reaction currently requires UV-absorbing or toxic light …
