As the attraction of creating biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass
has increased, researchers have been challenged with developing a better understanding …

Lignin is one of the most studied and analyzed materials due to its importance in cell
structure and in lignocellulosic biomass. Because lignin exhibits autofluorescence, methods …

The chemical properties of organic matter affect important soil processes such as speciation,
solubilization, and transport of plant nutrients and metals. This work uses ultrahigh …

Taking advantage of the aromatic and cross-linking tendency of lignin macromolecules
extracted from plants, we present a novel method for their assembly into supracolloidal …

Wood cell walls fluoresce as a result of UV and visible light excitation due to the presence of
lignin. Fluorescence spectroscopy has revealed characteristic spectral differences in various …

Lignocellulosic biomass has been proposed as an option for reducing global dependence
on nonrenewable energy sources, such as oil. Selection and development of biomass …

Wood cell walls are naturally fluorescent due to the presence of lignin. Autofluorescence
offers a more specific method for localising lignin than staining and can potentially be used …

Confocal fluorescence microscopy was used to examine the spectral characteristics of lignin
autofluorescence in secondary cell walls of normal and compression wood from Pinus …

As a natural fluorescent material, the fluorescent property and mechanism of lignin were
elusive until now, which hindered the high value application of lignin fluorescence. Herein …

Lignin, a sustainable and inexpensive material is becoming a popular candidate in research
because of its potential to be converted into value-added products. Due to the fluorescence …
