Photocatalytic Reforming Of Lignocellulose: A Review, Xinyuan Xu, Lei Shi, Shu Zhang, Zhimin Ao, Jinqiang Zhang, Shaobin Wang, Hongqi Sun
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Biomass has been considered as a promising energy resource to combat the exhaustion of fossil fuels, as it is renewable, sustainable, and clean. Photocatalytic reforming is a novel technology to utilize solar energy for upgrading biomass in relatively mild conditions. This process efficiently reforms and recasts biomass into hydrogen and/or valuable chemicals. To date, lignocellulose, including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, has attracted extensive studies in facile photocatalytic valorisation. This review summarizes and analyzes the most recent research advances on photoreforming of lignocellulose to provide insights for future research, with a particular emphasis on the reformation of lignin because of its …
