The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate

open access: yesChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.

Prediction of Withdrawal Resistance of Self-Tapping Screws in Softwood Structural Lumber

open access: yesBioResources
The withdrawal resistance of self-tapping screws (STS) in Korean structural softwood in the vertical fiber direction was examined. Four representative softwood species were selected based on their specific gravity.

Copper‐Based Conductive Nanoinks: Scalable Synthesis via Continuous‐Flow Microwave‐Assisted Polyol Process

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Microwave‐assisted polyol synthesis in continuous flow produces metallic Cu nanoparticles, using ethylene glycol as solvent and reducing agent, lignin to stabilize the colloid and prevent oxidation, and metal‐seeds for particle size control. Metallic copper nanoparticles are a promising alternative to gold and silver in printed electronics due to their

Dual‐Functional Sulfonated Nanocellulose for Proton Exchange Membranes With High Proton Conductivity at Low Humidity

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable dual‐functional strategy yields simultaneously sulfonated and nanosized cellulose for proton exchange membranes with continuous hydrogen‐bond networks. These sustainable membranes exhibit low‐humidity proton conductivity twofold higher than Nafion 212, providing a robust solution for next‐generation fuel cells.
