“…Comprising hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and acceptor (HBA) components, DES can selectively cleave ester, ether, and glycosidic linkages connecting lignin and hemicellulose via proton-attacked hydrolysis. Additionally, they disrupt the overall hydrogen-bond network within interchains through an electron-withdrawing effect [11] . Extensive research has demonstrated the efficacy of carboxylic acid-based DES, such as choline chloride (ChCl)/lactic acid (LA), in delivering simultaneous delignification and hemicellulose removal at high efficiency, reaching up to 91 % [12] .…”
