Researchers developed a lignin derived hard carbon anode for sodium ion batteries with 90.6 percent initial Coulombic ...

Lignin, a substance considered as a waste product in biomass and ethanol production, will now reach its proper value as bio-oil in new products. Lignin, a substance considered as a waste product in ...

Every year, gigatons of biomass from agricultural and forestry residues are discarded worldwide. This waste is rich in lignin ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital ...

Researchers have developed a fuel cell that uses lignin, a cheap by-product from paper manufacture and one of the most common biopolymers. Researchers from the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at ...

Carbon fibers are usually produced on an industrial scale from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The stabilization and carbonization of the fibers takes place with long dwell times in high-temperature furnaces ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make these ...

A research team led by Professors Caichao Wan and Yiqiang Wu at Central South University of Forestry and Technology reports ...

Made from traditional wood, engineered wood is often seen as a renewable replacement for traditional building materials like steel, cement, glass and plastic. It also has the potential to store carbon ...
