Autonomous and Continuous Atmospheric Water Harvesting Using Modified Wood

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rigid, hydroxyl‐rich wood skeleton with graded channels is used as a multifunctional host to co‐incorporate a PNipam/PAA network and LiCl, creating a high‐performance sorbent for atmospheric water harvesting. The composite achieves rapid sorption, efficient low‐temperature desorption, and stable cycling, enabling a solar‐powered device with a high ...

Chitosan‐Carbon Dot Composite Materials Form a Leaf Surface Barrier to Mitigate the Enrichment and Invasion of Nanoplastics: From Leaf Interface to Systemic Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

Emergence of lignin-carbohydrate interactions during plant stem maturation visualized by solid-state NMR

Nature Communications
Lignification waterproofs and strengthens secondary plant cell walls but increases the energy cost of sugar release for biofuels. The physical association between lignin and the carbohydrate scaffold that accommodates lignin polymerization, along with ...

Kinetic understanding of fiber surface lignin effects on cellulase adsorption and hydrolysis

Results in Surfaces and Interfaces
Cellulase hydrolysis is strongly affected by adsorption, which is inhibited by the non-productive binding between cellulase and lignin. However, lignin-bonded cellulase has also been found to be active in hydrolysis. Thus, in this work, lignin effects on

Ultra‐Low Intensity Continuous Wave Laser Ablation Propulsion With Graphene‐Engineered Wood

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene delignified wood converts continuous wave laser energy into thrust. Laser propulsion experiments in vacuum reveal the lowest laser ablation threshold intensities and the greatest density‐normalized specific impulse in literature. The results highlight graphene delignified wood as a potential efficient, sustainable, strong, and lightweight ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Lignin-Based Polyurethane as a Potential Compatibilizer

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2018
Lignin is one of the most abundant biopolymer on earth. It has polar and non-polar side due to its hyperbranched structure, but the polarity of lignin has a higher tendency than non-polarity.
