Biomass pretreatment enabling extraction of lignin with desirable properties (especially well-preserved β–O–4 linkages) while ensuring improved cellulose digestibility remains a challenge for sustainable biorefinery. This study aimed to address this using deep eutectic solvent (DES) comprising choline chloride and ethylene glycol (ChCl/EG) switchgrass fractionation. Extensive characterization extracted DES was performed understand how the properties, including purity, molecular weight,...
Porous graphene was photothermally induced from kraft lignin via direct laser writing. This laser-induced (LIG) possessed a hierarchical structure with three-dimensional (3D) interconnected network ideal for its transfer the lignin/poly(ethylene oxide) (KL/PEO) film onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The resultant LIG/PDMS composite shown to keep intrinsic porous and electrically active sites of LIG. supercapacitors (SCs) fabricated using exhibited good electrochemical performance excellent...
Borylations of inert carbon-hydrogen bonds are highly useful for transforming feedstock chemicals into versatile organoboron reagents. Catalysis these reactions has historically relied on precious-metal complexes, which promote dehydrogenative borylations with diboron reagents under oxidant-free conditions. Recently, photoinduced radical-mediated involving hydrogen atom transfer pathways have emerged as attractive alternatives because they provide complimentary regioselectivities and proceed...
Converting lignocellulosic biomass into graphene-based materials in a cost-effective approach remains grand challenge. This study tackled this challenge by implementing direct laser writing (DLW) to for synthesis of porous graphene (i.e., laser-induced (LIG)). Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), including choline chloride:oxalic acid (ChCl:OA), chloride:formic (ChCl:FA), and chloride:ethylene glycol (ChCl:EG), were used enable the fabrication biomass-based films DLW. It was found that cellulose...
