Title: Microstructure defines the electroconductive and mechanical performance of plant-derived renewable carbon fiber

Abstract

A plant-derived lignin polymer has been enzymatically fractionated to tune its chemistry for making renewable carbon fiber, both the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of which were found to be defined by the formed microstructures.

Non–solvent Fractionation of Lignin Enhances Carbon Fiber Performance

Journal Article Yuan, Joshua S. ; Li, Qiang ; Li, Mengjie ; ... - ChemSusChem

Even though lignin carbon fiber has been sought after for several decades, the poor mechanical performance remains to be a major barrier for commercial applications. The low mechanical performance is attributed to the heterogeneity of lignin polymer. Recent advances in fractionation technologies showed the great potential to reduce lignin heterogeneity, but current fractionation methods often depend on costly chemicals and materials such as enzymes, organic solvents, membranes, and dialysis tubes. Here, a new non–solvent strategy was developed to fractionate lignin by autohydrolysis. By using only water, lignin was efficiently fractionated into water–soluble and –insoluble fractions. The latter fraction had increasedmore »« less

Defining lignin nanoparticle properties through tailored lignin reactivity by sequential organosolv fragmentation approach (SOFA)

Journal Article Liu, Zhi -Hua ; Hao, Naijia ; Shinde, Somnath ; ... - Green Chemistry

Sustainable biorefinery heavily depends on the generation of value-added products, particularly from lignin. Despite considerable efforts, the production of fungible lignin bioproducts is still hindered by the poor fractionation and low reactivity of lignin. To address these challenges, the sequential organosolv fragmentation approach (SOFA) using ethanol plus different-stage catalysts was explored to selectively dissolve lignin for producing multiple uniform lignin streams, and to tailor its chemistry and reactivity for fabricating lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) with desired quality features. In a biorefinery concept, the carbohydrate output is taken into consideration. SOFA significantly increased the glucose and xylose yields, suggesting an improved monomer-sugarmore »« less

Enhancement of polyhydroxyalkanoate production by co-feeding lignin derivatives with glycerol in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

Journal Article Xu, Zhangyang ; Pan, Chunmei ; Li, Xiaolu ; ... - Biotechnology for Biofuels

Abstract Background Efficient utilization of all available carbons from lignocellulosic biomass is critical for economic efficiency of a bioconversion process to produce renewable bioproducts. However, the metabolic responses that enable Pseudomonas putida to utilize mixed carbon sources to generate reducing power and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) remain unclear. Previous research has mainly focused on different fermentation strategies, including the sequential feeding of xylose as the growth stage substrate and octanoic acid as the PHA-producing substrate, feeding glycerol as the sole carbon substrate, and co-feeding of lignin and glucose. This study developed a new strategy—co-feeding glycerol and lignin derivatives such as benzoate, vanillin,more »« less
