Nature-inspired pretreatment of lignocellulose – Perspective and development

The outlooks and key challenges in renewable biomass feedstock utilization for value-added platform chemical via bioprocesses

“…This makes conventional pretreatment of concern in terms of economic feasibility, carbon emissions, long residence time, and the occurrence of inhibitors [ 185 , 186 ]. Although several studies have been conducted in recent years, more affordable products should be developed to achieve a high production rate of purified monomeric sugars at a low cost [ 187 ].…”

Wood-Inspired Ultrafast High-Performance Adsorbents for CO2 Capture

“…Nature has long provided us with a good solution. In recent years, wood and its derivatives have attracted more and more attention . In addition to being sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable, wood also exhibits a natural porous structure and excellent mechanical properties.…”

“…In recent years, wood and its derivatives have attracted more and more attention. 26 In addition to being sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable, wood also exhibits a natural porous structure and excellent mechanical properties. Besides replacing nonrenewable materials such as plastics, glass, and metals, these new wood materials have also been applied in the fields of energy storage, wastewater treatment, and solar-steam-assisted desalination.…”
