Article Abstract
The chemical structure of lignin has an important effect on the lignin pyrolysis product distributions. Therefore, it is of great significance to regulate the selectivity of pyrolysis products by modifying the lignin structure. Herein, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) including choline chloride/ethylene glycol (CE), zinc chloride/ethylene glycol (ZE) and choline chloride/acetic acid, treatment of softwood kraft lignin (SKL) is demonstrated. Systematic characterization indicate that the DESs are not only highly conducive to increasing the hydrogen to carbon efficient ratio, reducing the molecular weight and β-O-4 linkage, but also contributes to the maximum degradation rate and thermal stability of SKL. Noticeably, CE and ZE treatment are significantly improved the amount of H-phenols and C-phenols derived lignin pyrolysis, respectively. In addition, DESs pretreatment are also beneficial to the increment of monomer aromatic hydrocarbons. More importantly, the CE pretreatment contributes to the improvement of bio-oil yield and decrease of char content from lignin pyrolysis.

Naphthenic acids (NAs) in petroleum wastewater are difficult to volatilize, degrade and persistent. In this study, we developed a potassium-doped carbon dots/lignin-based porous carbon composite (K-CDs/LPC-X) using renewable lignin as a carbon source and potassium-doped carbon dots (K-CDs) as a fluorescent probe. Lignin, a natural and sustainable biomass material, serves as a cost-effective, eco-friendly carbon precursor and forms highly porous structures during pyrolysis.

The global demand for sustainable materials and carbon-neutral technologies drives innovations in biochar, a carbon-rich material for energy storage, pollution mitigation, and carbon sequestration. Conventional biochar, limited by poor conductivity and porosity, relies on fossil fuel-dependent activation. Recent advances in gene-editing technologies enable the precise reduction of lignin and enhance cellulose in woody biomass, improving its processability for biochar production.

This study presents a sustainable integrated bottom-up/top-down strategy for high-yield synthesis of high-purity carbon dots (CDs) from lignin (Lg). Highly graphitized Lg-derived char (Lg-char) was first obtained with an 80.3 wt% yield via rapid air-assisted pyrolysis, followed by mild hydrothermal oxidation to produce Lg-CDs with an 40.

Lignin, as a sustainable, oxygen-rich natural aromatic polymer, is a promising precursor for carbon electrode materials. However, the abundant aromatic rings in lignin tend to form substantial graphite-like nanodomains during the carbonization process, which hinders the formation of abundant closed pores and consequently restricts the sodium-ion storage capacity of lignin-derived hard carbons. Herein, a chemical modification strategy is proposed to modify the functional groups of lignin by grafting low bond-energy, nitrogen-containing groups (quaternary ammonium and amide groups) onto lignin molecules.

The release of hazardous volatile organic compounds (HVOCs) from biochar poses a potential threat to both human health and the environment. This study investigates how low pyrolysis temperature (HTT) and the chemical characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass, expressed as the carbon-relative molar mass (CRMM) index (g·mol), influence the release of hazardous volatile compounds from biochar. A total of 204 biochar samples were produced from pure biomass components: lignin (L), cellulose (C), hemicellulose (H) and their mixtures, and analyzed using stepwise multiple regression, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis (PCA), and regression decision trees.
