Increasing reliance on non-renewable fuels has shifted research attention to
environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources. The inherently recalcitrant nature …

Pretreatment processes—recognized as critical steps for efficient biomass refining—have
received much attention over the last two decades. In this context, deep eutectic solvents …

Viscosity control and reactivity enhancement are critical to produce high-quality cellulose
products, such as dissolving pulp, yet remain challenging. In this work, an ultrafast process …

The world's growing population and industrial activities have led to increased energy
demand and the depletion of fossil fuels, causing environmental pollution and global …

Lignin is the most abundant natural phenolic polymer. However, the severe condensations
of industrial lignin resulted in an undesirable apparent morphology and darker color, which …

The overwhelming use of non-biodegradable plastics derived from petroleum has resulted
in serious environmental pollution and ecological concerns, which has spurred the …

Abstract Development of amino acid-based natural deep eutectic solvents (DESs)
pretreatment technology on lignocellulosic biomass is a promising approach to biorefinery …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with different acidity and alkalinity were applied for biomass
pretreatment, and the conditions were optimized by response surface methodology. The …

Demonstrated to be highly effective for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, deep eutectic
solvent (DES) has attracted increasing attention owing to its advantages of simple synthesis …

One of the greatest challenges in biorefinery is to reduce biomass' recalcitrance and enable
valorization of lignin into higher value compounds. Likewise, green solvents and …
