An All‐in‐One Lignin‐Based Artificial Thylakoid Nanovesicle Via In‐Situ Confined Growth Strategy for High‐Efficient and Selectivity CO2 Photoreduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The low light/CO2 capture and slow dynamic transfer of photogenerated electrons hamper photocatalysts’ high activity and selectivity. Inspired by the chloroplast's photosynthesis mechanism, an all‐in‐one lignin‐based artificial thylakoid nanovesicle (AiO‐L‐ATN) is constructed using a confined growth strategy of lignin molecules. The performance of such

The One‐Step Synthesis of Biologically Active Isochromans from Lignin‐Derived Aromatic Monomers in Tunable Deep Eutectic Solvents

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A straightforward one‐step protocol enables the synthesis of bio‐based and biologically active isochromans through the Oxa‐Pictet cyclization involving diverse aldehydes, including vanillin in combination with lignin‐derivable homovanillyl alcohol, a prominent aromatic platform chemical obtainable via diol‐assisted fractionation of lignocellulose ...

Nanolignin Functional Separators for Flexible Lithium–Sulfur Batteries With Enhanced Performance

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nanolignin‐functionalized separators, incorporating lignin nanoparticles into a crosslinked PEGDA coating applied on commercial separators, reduce polysulfide shuttling, thereby enhancing cycling performance in flexible lithium–sulfur pouch cells, while also improving thermo‐oxidative stability and flame retardancy.

Thermal Characteristics of Lignin Residue from Industrial Processes

BioResources, 2013
Many pulp mills and biorefineries today are focusing on the utilization of their residual lignin for economic return. Although lignin can be burned to produce energy, it also has the potential for the production of value-added products. Technical lignins

Composites of kraft lignin

, 2022
Many materials, man-made and natural, have a composite structure, i.e. they comprise two or more constituent materials with distinct differences. Concrete is a common example. It consists of sand or gravel, cement and water. Wood is also a composite. It has strong, crystalline cellulose structures glued together by hemicelluloses and lignin. The unique

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.

Recent Developments in Sustainable Composites for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): A Review

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review presents the potential of using natural plant fibers and biodegradable polymers as sustainable printed circuit boards (PCBs). This review provides future directions in innovation and sustainable PCBs development. Bio‐composites PCBs are both environmentally friendly and sustainable due to the natural fibres they contain.

Effect of Charcoal and Kraft-Lignin Addition on Coke Compression Strength and Reactivity

Energies, 2017
The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of charcoal and Kraft-lignin additions on the structure, cold compression strength, and reactivity of bio-cokes produced at the laboratory scale. Bio-cokes were prepared by adding charcoal and Kraft-

Bio‐Based Epoxy Resins from Estragole: Achieving High Glass Transition Temperatures Comparable to DGEBA and Simultaneously Low Viscosities

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Two novel bio‐based epoxy monomers, diglycidyl‐4‐allylphenol (DG‐4A) and triglycidyl‐diallylphenol (TG‐DA), derived from estragole (92% and 72% bio‐content), were synthesized and cured with isophorone diamin (IPDA) and 4,4´‐diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS). The resins show high Tgs, with DG‐4A reaching and TG‐DA exceeding DGEBA‐based systems. These resins
