The aim of this Concept article is to highlight different aspects of using biomass residues or extracted molecules in the synthesis of zeolites (mainly), aluminas and layered doubled hydroxides (LDHs). The strategies presented should serve as a basis for rationally preparing those aforementioned materials for catalytic purposes. Indeed, the presence of sugars, lignin, lignocellulosic biomass usually induces morphological/textural changes as well as (in some cases) modified chemical composition and surface properties.
