Fast pyrolysis converts> 60 wt% of lignocellulosic materials into bio-oil. The two-step bio-oil
hydrotreatment concept has had a major impact in the development of bio-oil hydro …

Cellulosic biomass is the largest source of renewable organic carbon on our planet.
Cellulose accounts for 40–50 wt% of this lignocellulose, and it is a feedstock for industrially …

Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs) are ordered microporous carbons synthesized by using
zeolite as a sacrificial template. Unlike well-known ordered mesoporous carbons obtained …

Lignocellulose and chitin are the two most abundant renewable sources of organic carbon
available as alternative for chemical and fuel synthesis. Catalytic conversion of these …

Solid acids as heterogeneous catalysts for cellulose hydrolysis have drawn increasing
attention; however, current solid acids face challenges such as high catalyst loading (low …

The conversion of chitin enables the utilisation of naturally-fixed nitrogen in addition to
carbon toward establishing a sustainable carbon and nitrogen cycle. Chitin is an abundant …

Microcrystalline cellulose could be effectively converted into levulinic acid in pure water at
180° C in 12 h without additives in a maximum yield of 51.5% with a cellulase-mimetic solid …

Biomass is the sole carbon-based renewable resource for sustaining the chemical and fuel
demands of our future. Lignocellulose, the primary constituent of terrestrial plants, is the …

Oligosaccharides possess fascinating functions that are applicable in a variety of fields, such
as agriculture. However, the selective synthesis of oligosaccharides, especially chitin …

With the aim of understanding three-dimensional graphene-based frameworks in detail, a
realistic structure model of zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) is constructed by using computer …
