Abstract
As a rich and renewable polymer, lignin is difficult to fully utilise like cellulose and hemicellulose due to its complex structure. Therefore, using modern technology to modify the structure of lignin is effective into starting materials. Catalytic degradation is currently a promising method for the valuable lignin products, which can provide highly functionalized monomers and oligomers as other materials, realise the development of lignin resources, make lignin a high value-added product, and provide the possibility of replacing fossil fuels in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, which is benefit to the circular economy in the future. Here, we conclude the nanocatalytic modification methods of lignin, including biocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and photocatalysts, and briefly discuss the reaction mechanism of the catalytic process, with a focus on the effective decomposition of lignin into organic solutions and small molecule complexes in thermal cracking reactions. This review provides a reference for the study of the value of lignin in various applications.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
