Can we make everything from lignin, including money?…The answer is:

2015-11-08

The depletion of the fossil fuel reserves on the Earth as well as the rapid increase in green-house gas emissions and environmental pollutions propel the development of renewable energy technologies. Biomass resources derive from solar energy, which is viewed as an important contributor to the development of a sustainable industrial society and effective management of greenhouse gas emissions. The concept to utilize solar energy under mild condition via photocatalytic transformation of biomass is a promising strategy to tackle with the energy and environment crisis.

We cordially invite you to get familiar with this proof of concept of a photocatalytic route to valorize lignocellulosic biomass. Here some of our recently published collaborative research manuscripts in this subject:
