Abstract As the most abundant renewable aromatic biopolymer resource on Earth, lignin has become a cutting‐edge research hotspot in clean photocatalysis, thanks to distinct highest occupied molecular‐orbital and lowest unoccupied energy levels driven by major β‐O‐4 linked bonds. However, complex spatial architecture of functional groups, represented benzene rings 3D intertwined macromolecular chains lignin, challenge enhancing carrier separation efficiency remain persistent obstacles...

Lignin represents the most abundant and sustainable aromatic resource to produce value-added aromatics. However, an efficient selective cleavage of recalcitrant C–C bonds in lignin under mild conditions remains challenging. Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy for such bond ambient conditions, although activity selectivity need be further improved. Herein, using polyimide photocatalyst, we report β-O-4 model visible light at room temperature. The was converted into products...

The fundamental understanding of the catalytic performance copper-based catalysts for lignin hydroconversion is delayed compared with empirical optimization catalyst preparation. Herein, we investigate interplay between lignin-abundant oxygen-containing functional groups and Cu active species via β-O-4 linkage hydrogenolysis. Catalyst data elemental spectra characterizing demonstrate dominance Cu0 in catalysis. Remarkably, Cα–OH Cα═O aliphatic chain play critical roles this process, without...

In this work, a lignin-based concrete water reducer was prepared through organic solvent fractionation and chemical modification of lignin extracted from pine wood with formic acid. The fractionated different molecular weight modified via oxidation–sulfomethylation (OS), the effects on performance were investigated. It found that sulfonation degree (SD) after OS clearly higher compared to unfractionated lignin, SD linearly correlated its workability (i.e., fluidity cement paste) based...

To determine the effects of age and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, especially among young women with low AMH levels older high levels.This study was a cohort which total 9431 aged 20-51 years who were undergoing their first IVF cycles recruited. Ovarian response parameters included number retrieved oocytes, 2 pronuclear zygotes (2PN), frequency good-quality embryos (GQE). Pregnancy outcomes clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), live birth (LBR),...

The development of an economic and sustainable catalytic system was crucial for lignin-based biorefinery. Herein, we reported a low-cost Cu/CuMgAlOx catalyst with promising activity toward lignin hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) through H2-free method. Supercritical methanol used as the hydrogen donor, solvent, reactant simultaneously. Guaiacol employed representative model compound to reveal HDO mechanism derivatives. HDOs guaiacol performed at 250, 275, 300, 350 °C durations ranging from 15 120...

Lignin, an aromatic polymer, is a crucial component of lignocellulosic biomass and significant source renewable aromatics found in nature. Lignin constitutes up to 30 wt % generated excess 100 million tons per year from global paper bio-ethanol industries. Unfortunately, most technical lignin produced this manner burned as heat source, without any value-added valorization. The conversion into valuable compounds can significantly increase the profitability biorefineries. However, productivity...
