Abstract
Recent advancements have transformed lignin from a byproduct into a valuable raw material for polymers, dyes, adhesives, and fertilizers. However, its structural heterogeneity, variable reactive group content, impurities, and high extraction costs pose challenges to industrial-scale adoption. Efficient separation technologies and selective bond cleavage are crucial. Advanced pretreatment methods have enhanced lignin purity and reduced contamination, while novel catalytic techniques have improved depolymerization efficiency and selectivity. This review compares catalytic depolymerization methodologies, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, and noting challenges in comparing yield values due to variations in isolation methods and lignin sources. Recognizing "technical lignin" from pulping processes, the review emphasizes its diverse applications and the necessity of understanding its structural characteristics. Emerging trends focus on bio-based functional additives and nanostructured lignin materials, promising enhanced properties and functionalities. Innovations open possibilities in sustainable agriculture, high-performance foams and composites, and advanced medical applications like drug delivery and wound healing. Leveraging lignin's biocompatibility, abundance, and potential for high-value applications, it can significantly contribute to sustainable material development across various industries.

Abstract
Low solubility and chemical instability are the main problems with insoluble bioactives. Lignin, with its exceptional biological properties and amphiphilicity, holds promise as a delivery system material. In this study, glycerol esters were incorporated into alkali lignin (AL) through ether and ester bonds, resulting in the successful synthesis of three hydrophobically modified alkali lignins (AL-OA, AL-OGL, and AL-SAN-OGL). Subsequently, lignin composite nanoparticles (LNPs@BC) encapsulating β-carotene were prepared using antisolvent and sonication techniques. The encapsulation rates were determined to be 37.69 ± 2.21%, 84.01 ± 5.55%, 83.82 ± 5.23%, and 83.11 ± 5.85% for LNP@BC-1, LNP@BC-2, LNP@BC-3, and LNP@BC-4, respectively, with AL, AL-OA, AL-OGL, and AL-SAN-OGL serving as the wall materials under optimized preparation conditions. The antioxidant properties and UV-absorbing capacity of the four lignins were characterized, demonstrating their efficacy in enhancing the oxygen and photostability of β-carotene. Following 6 h of UV irradiation, LNP@BC-4 exhibited a retention rate of 83.03 ± 2.85% for β-carotene, while storage under light-protected conditions at 25 °C for 7 days retained 73.33 ± 7.62% of β-carotene. Furthermore, the encapsulated β-carotene demonstrated enhanced thermal and storage stability. In vitro release experiments revealed superior stability of LNPs@BC in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), with β-carotene retention exceeding 77% in both LNP@BC-3 and LNP@BC-4. LNP@BC-4 exhibited the highest bioaccessibility in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) at 46.96 ± 0.80%, that LNP@BC-1 only achieved 10.87 ± 0.90%. The enzymatic responsiveness of AL-OGL and AL-SAN-OGL was confirmed. Moreover, LNPs@BC exhibited no cytotoxicity toward L929 cells and demonstrated excellent hemocompatibility. In summary, this study introduces a novel enzyme-responsive modified lignin that has promising applications in the fields of food, biomedicine, and animal feed.

Abstract
Wood-derived hydrogels possess satisfactory longitudinal strength but lack excellent swelling resistance and dry shrinkage resistance when achieving high anisotropy. In this study, we displayed the preparation of highly dimensional stable wood/polyacrylamide hydrogels (wood/PAM-Al3+). The alkali-treated wood retains lignin as the skeleton of the hydrogel. Second, Al ions were added to the metal coordination with lignin. Finally, by employing free radical polymerization, we construct a conductive electronic network using polyaniline within the wood/PAM-Al3+ matrix to create the flexible sensor. This approach leverages lignin's integrated structure within the middle lamella to provide enhanced swelling resistance and stronger binding strength in the transverse direction. Furthermore, coordination between lignin and Al ions improves the mechanical strength of the wood hydrogel. Polyaniline provides stable linear pressure and temperature responses. The wood/PAM-Al3+ exhibits a transverse swelling ratio of 3.90% while achieving a longitudinal tensile strength of 20.5 MPa. This high-strength and high-stability sensor is capable of monitoring macroscale human behavior. Therefore, this study presents a simple yet innovative strategy for constructing tough hydrogels while also establishing an alternative pathway for exploring lignin networks in new functional materials development.

Abstract
Novel biomedical materials provide a new horizon for the diagnosis/treatment of diseases and tissue repair in medical engineering. As the most abundant biomass polymer on earth, cellulose is characterized by natural biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and structure-performance designability. Owing to these outstanding features, cellulose as a biomacromolecule can be designed as functional biomaterials via hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction or chemical modification for human tissue repair, implantable tissue organs, and controlling drug release. Moreover, cellulose can also be used to construct medical sensors for monitoring human physiological signals. In this study, the structural characteristics, functionalization approaches, and advanced biomedical applications of cellulose are reviewed. The current status and application prospects of cellulose and its functional materials for wound dressings, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and electronic skin (e-skin) are discussed. Finally, the key technologies and methods used for designing cellulosic biomaterials and broadening their application prospects in biomedical fields are highlighted.

Abstract
Recently, numerous studies have been conducted on renewable polymers derived from different natural sources, exploring their suitability for diverse biomedical applications. Lignin as one of the main components of lignocellulosic has garnered significant attention as a promising alternative to petroleum-based polymers. This interest is primarily due to its cost-effectiveness, biocompatibility, eco-friendly nature, as well as its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. These characteristics could be more beneficial when incorporating lignin into the formulation of value-added products. Although lignin has a chemical structure that is suitable for various applications, these characteristics require modifications to guarantee that the resultant materials display the desired biological, chemical, and physical properties when applied in the creation of biodegradable hydrogels, particularly for biomedical purposes. This study delineates the recent modification approaches that have been employed in the creation of lignin-based hydrogels. These strategies encompass both chemical and physical interactions with other polymers. Additionally, this review encompasses an examination of the current applications of lignin hydrogels, spanning their use as scaffolds for tissue engineering, carriers for pharmaceuticals, materials for wound dressings and biosensors, and elements in flexible and wearable electronics. Finally, we delve into the challenges and constraints associated with these materials, discuss the necessary steps required to attain the appropriate properties for the development of innovative lignin-based hydrogels, and derive conclusions based on the presented findings.

Abstract
Lignin, a complex and abundant biopolymer derived from plant cell walls, has emerged as a promising feedstock for sustainable material development. Due to the high abundance of phenylpropanoid units, aromatic rings, and hydroxyl groups, lignin is an ideal candidate for being explored in various material applications. Therefore, the demand on lignin valorization for development of value-added products is significantly increasing. This mini-review provides an overview of lignin upconversion, focusing on its functionalization through chemical and enzymatic routes, and its application in lignin-based polymer resins, hydrogels, and nanomaterials. The functionalization of lignin molecules with various chemical groups offers tailored properties and increased compatibility with other materials, expanding its potential applications. Additionally, the formation of lignin-based networks, either through cross-linking or blending with polymers, generates novel materials with improved mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. However, challenges remain in optimizing functionalization techniques, preserving the innate complexity of lignin, and achieving scalability for industrial implementation. As lignin's potential continues to be unlocked, it is poised to contribute significantly to the shift towards more eco-friendly and resource-efficient industries.

Abstract
The packaging of fresh foods increasingly focuses on renewable and eco-friendly cellulose films, but their low dissolution efficiency and weak mechanical strength greatly limit their wide application, which also cannot be used for smart packaging. Here, a highly efficient synergistic chloride-salt dissolution method was proposed to fabricate robust, transparent, and smart cellulose films. Cellulose films with appropriate Ca2+ concentration exhibited robust mechanical strength, better thermal stability, high transparency and crystallinity. The metal chelation of Ca2+ with cellulose chains could induce cellulose chain arrangement during the cellulose regeneration process. Particularly, compared to pure cellulose films, the tensile strength and elongation at break of cellulose films with suitable Ca2+ were increased by 167 % and 200 %, respectively. Moreover, optimal cellulose films can be used to reflect the quality of the fruit by detecting changes in ethanol gas. Hence, a novel strategy is presented to fabricate robust and transparent cellulose films with great potential application for smart packaging.

Abstract
Functionalized lignin-based biosorbent has become popular in wastewater treatment and extraction of valuable metals. Amination and metallization modification can effectively improve the adsorption performance of adsorbent. Zn2+/polyamine lignin for adsorption of W(VI) was synthesized by quaternization, amination and metallization from lignin with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride, tetraethylenepentamine and ZnCl2. The adsorbent was characterized by SEM-EDS, FTIR and XRD. The adsorption performance of Zn2+/polyamine lignin for W(VI) was investigated in batch system. The adsorption mechanism was revealed by zeta potential, SEM-EDS and FTIR and XPS. It was shown that Zn2+/polyamine lignin exhibited great adsorption capacity at pH of 2, 25 °C, oscillation rate of 400 r/min, initial tungsten concentration of 700 mg·L-1 and adsorption time of 720 min. The maximum adsorption capacity of 0.5 g·L-1 Zn2+/polyamine lignin for W(VI) reached 488.28 mg·g-1. The adsorption followed Langmuir model and quasi-second-order kinetic model, indicating that the adsorption was monolayer homogeneous chemisorption. W(VI) was adsorbed through electrostatic attraction of hydrogen bond and Zn2+, ion exchange with Cl- and coordination with -NH2. The adsorption capacity reduced by only 6.47 % after seven cycles of adsorption-desorption, which indicated that Zn2+/polyamine lignin had a great application prospect.

Abstract
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-incorporated lignin-chitosan biomass-based nanocomposite porous scaffolds have been effectively prepared by templating oil-in-water Pickering high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). PCL is dissolved in oil and chitosan and lignin nanoparticles originate in water. The continuous phase of the emulsions is gelled by cross-linking of chitosan with genipin and then freeze-dried to obtain porous scaffolds. The resulting scaffolds display interconnected and tunable pore structures. An increase in PCL content increases the mechanical strength and greatly reduces the water absorption capacity of the scaffolds. Scaffolds loaded with the anti-bacterial drug enrofloxacin show a slow drug release profile, adjustable release rate, and favorable long-term anti-bacterial activity. Moreover, Pickering emulsion templates with suitable viscosity are used as 3D printing inks to construct porous scaffolds with personalized geometry. The results imply that the simplicity and versatility of the technique of combining freeze-drying with Pickering HIPE templates is a promising approach to fabricate hydrophobic biopolymer-incorporated biomass-based nanocomposite porous scaffolds for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The conversion of renewable lignin with low-cost and high carbon content properties into porous carbon materials for supercapacitor applications has caught considerable interest. Herein, two dimensional lignin-derived carbon nanosheets (N-LHPC) with hierarchically porous structures were facilely synthesized via a novel metal-lignin assembly strategy and their performances for supercapacitor applications were investigated. During the carbonization process, the uniformly distributed Zn facilitates the coordinating development of micropores structure and the generated MgO embedded in the carbon matrix acts as a template to produce mesoporous structure after acid washing. Moreover, the melamine addition promotes the development of mesopores by formation of lamellae structure and realizes the N doping in the carbon materials. Therefore, the obtained N-LHPC presents an excellent specific capacitance of 235.75 F/g at 0.5 A/g owing to its hierarchical pore structure as well as the N/O functional groups. Moreover, at the power density of 450 W/kg, the N-LHPC achieves a maximum energy density of 14.75 Wh/kg, showing great application potential in energy storage. The metal-lignin assembly strategy followed by N-doping proposed in this paper provides N-LHPC materials with hierarchical nanostructure, good electron/ion transfer properties, and abundant pseudocapacitive active species, which improve the capacitance performances of the N-LHPC.

Abstract
The molecular simulation software was firstly applied to analyze the adsorption of sulfomethylated lignin (SAL) on dye surfaces. Then, SALs with different sulfonic group contents were prepared and characterized by FTIR, NMR, EA and GPC measurements using alkali lignin (AL) as raw materials and sodium sulfite as sulfonating agents. Next, SAL1.53 was determined to the optimum dispersant by TSI, particle size and thermal storage stability measurements, which had the smallest particle size of 173 nm and highest stability, comparable to the commercial Reax 85A lignin dispersant and basically satisfying the requirement of nano disperse dyes used in the digital printing technology. QCM, AFM and zeta potential results indicated that as the sulfonic group content of SAL increased, the adsorption mass, rigidity of the adsorbed layer, adsorption force and absolute zeta potential value all showed a gradually increasing tendency due to an enhanced hydrophilicity, and thus a decreased intermolecular agglomeration and an increased molecular chain stretching degree. A maximum was observed for SAL1.53. This research not only provided a novel approach to the preparation of high-performance lignin dispersants for nano disperse dyes, but also would broaden the high value-added industrial applications of biomass lignin into the digital printing and dyeing field.

Abstract
Due to the complexity, heterogeneity and recalcitrant structure of lignin, the extraction of multifunctional lignin directly from lignocellulose is still a challenge. Here, a green and recyclable route was proposed to separate high-quality lignin and tailor its functionalities. Through tuning the components of deep eutectic solvent (DES) and separation procedures, DES extracted lignin (DESL) exhibited high purity of 99.6 %, yield of 83.2 % and phenolic hydroxyl content of 8.33 wt%. The results of FTIR and 13C NMR demonstrated that DESL possessed more oxygen-containing reactive groups compared with commercial lignin (CL), enabling DESL with more superior functional activities. DESL exhibited higher antioxidant activity with the DPPH capture rate of 73.2 %. Meanwhile, DESL showed strong bactericidal effects against E. coli (100 %) and S. aureus (100 %) due to higher phenolic hydroxyl content, which could destroy bacterial cell membranes and inhibit bacterial metabolism by interacting with phospholipid layer and protein. Additionally, DESL displayed strong UV absorption and could be blended with polyurethane to enhance UV shielding property of polyurethane composite film with >50 of UPF value. In summary, DES treatment is a suitable strategy for high-quality lignin separation, which opens a broad spectrum of possibilities for lignin valorization.

Coating peanut shell lignin nanospheres with gelatin via non-covalent adsorption: Key parameters, consequences, and underlying interactions. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123607.

Abstract
In the present work, lignin nanospheres (LNS, average diameter 166.43 nm) were prepared and the affecting parameters, the absorbed types, and mechanisms of their interactions with type-A gelatin (AG) were explored. The findings demonstrated that upon AG coating, the ζ-potential of LNS sharply decreased and concluded a negative-to-positive shift, while the average diameter and polydispersity index increased significantly. AG presented the highest coating capacity (0.32 mg/mg, db) onto LNS (0.5 mg/mL) at an optimum pH of 4.0 and an AG concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. The adsorption of AG onto LNS could be well described by the Hill model (R2 = 0.9895), which was characterized as positive synergistic adsorption by the Hill coefficient (1.32) and physical adsorption by the free energy (3.70 kJ/mg). The spectral analysis revealed that the interactions between AG and LNS were mainly driven by electrostatic forces (ΔG < 0, ΔH < 0, and ΔS > 0) together with the assistance of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which companied a decrease of α-helix (4.04 %) and β-turn (0.60 %) and an increase of β-sheet (3.10 %) and random coil (1.53 %) of the secondary structure of AG. The results herein certainly favored the hydrophilic/hydrophobic change of LNS/AG and the quality control of a binary system consisting of lignin and gelatin.

Abstract
Graphene-like carbon materials are widely used in power devices due to their excellent structural characteristics. In this study, ultra-thin graphene-like nanosheets (LGLNs) with rich surface wrinkles were prepared by classical evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) using lignin biomass as carbon precursor, followed by chemical activation with KHCO3. The obtained LGLN900 material calcined at 900 °C had a thickness of ca. 3 nm, a large specific surface area of 2886 m2 g-1 with a high specific pore volume of 2.10 cm3 g-1. In addition, a large number of wrinkles on the surface of LGLN900 endows its effective compression resistance. When the LGLN900 material was used as electrode material of supercapacitor, a high specific capacitance of 388 F g-1 was obtained at 0.2 A g-1 current density in 6 M KOH aqueous solution, and 269 F g-1 specific capacitance could be at remained at 40 A g-1. The supercapacitor assembled with LGLN900 afforded a specific energy density of (11.0-13.7) Wh kg-1 at a power density of (128.8-6465) W kg-1. This work provides a facile and green strategy for the synthesis of highly wrinkled ultra-thin graphene-like nanosheets from sustainable biomass resources, which should have wide applications in adsorption, catalysis and energy storage.

Abstract
The search for feedstock of catechyl lignin (C-lignin) is great interest and importance, as C-lignin featuring homogeneity and linearity is considered as an "ideal lignin" archetype for valorization and exits in only a few plant seed coats. In this study, naturally occurring C-lignin is first discovered in the seed coats of Chinese tallow, which has the highest content of C-lignin (15.4 wt%) as compared with other known feedstocks. An optimized extraction procedure by ternary deep eutectic solvents (DESs) enables the complete disassembly of C-lignin and G/S-lignin coexisted in Chinese tallow seed coats, and characterizations revealed that the as-separated C-lignin sample is abundant in benzodioxane units with no observation of β-O-4 structures from G/S-lignin. Catalytic depolymerization of C-lignin results in a simplex catechol product in 129 mg per gram seed coats, being higher than other reported feedstocks. Derivatizing the "black" C-lignin via the nucleophilic isocyanation of benzodioxane γ-OH leads to a "whitened C-lignin" with uniform laminar structure and excellent crystallization ability, being conducive to fabricating functional materials. Overall, this contribution showed that Chinses tallow seed coats are suitable feedstock for acquiring C-lignin biopolymer.

Abstract
To comprehend the biosynthesis processes of conifers, it is essential to investigate the disparity between the cell wall shape and the interior chemical structures of polymers throughout the development of Chinese pine. In this study, branches of mature Chinese pine were separated according to their growth time (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years). The variation of cell wall morphology and lignin distribution was comprehensively monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal Raman microscopy (CRM), respectively. Moreover, the chemical structures of lignin and alkali-extracted hemicelluloses were extensively characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thickness of latewood cell walls increased steadily from 1.29 μm to 3.38 μm, and the structure of the cell wall components became more complicated as the growth time increased. Based on the structural analysis, it was found that the content of β-O-4 (39.88-45.44/100 Ar), β-β (3.20-10.02/100 Ar) and β-5 (8.09-15.35/100 Ar) linkages as well as the degree of polymerization of lignin increased with the growth time. The complication propensity increased significantly over 6 years before slowing to a trickle over 8 and 10 years. Furthermore, alkali-extracted hemicelluloses of Chinese pine mainly consist of galactoglucomannans and arabinoglucuronxylan, in which the relative content of galactoglucomannans increased with the growth of the pine, especially from 6 to 10 years.

Abstract
Lignin is the most abundant biomass source of aromatic hydrocarbons but, at present, is not effectively utilized. The development of simple and efficient methods for producing lignin-based polymers to replace petroleum-based products is an important strategy for promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable materials and controlling carbon emissions. In this work, lignin-based, light-driven shape memory polymers (ELIDs) with improved mechanical properties have been prepared from enzymatic hydrolysis lignin, itaconic acid and 1,12-dodecanediol, without any chemical modification of the lignin. The polymers contain large proportions of lignin (20-40 wt%, designated ELID20 to ELID40) and their mechanical properties are dependent on the lignin content. Maximum tensile strength (46.9 MPa) was achieved with ELID30, maximum elongation at break (93.7 %) was achieved with ELID20 and highest fracture energy (10.75 J cm-3) was achieved with ELID25. These excellent mechanical properties are accompanied by good thermal stability and a wide range of glass transition temperatures (21.2-157.3 °C), supporting a broad range of applications. The shape fixation rate (Rf) and shape recovery rate (Rr) were highest for ELID30 (98.7 % and 97.4 %, respectively). Under 1 sun simulated solar irradiation, ELID20 reached a temperature exceeding the glass transition temperature in 15 s and, under 3 sun simulated solar irradiation, ELID30 reached a temperature of 130 °C and shape recovered in 60 s. The excellent mechanical properties and good light-driven shape memory of ELIDs provide inspiration for the development and utilization of lignin-based polymers.

Abstract
In the design of injectable antimicrobial dextran-alginate hydrogels, the impact of dextran oxidation and its subsequent changes in molecular weight and the incorporation of glycol chitosan on (i) gel mechanical strength and (ii) the inhibitory profile of an encapsulated bacteriocin, nisin A, are explored. As the degree of oxidation increases, the weight average molecular mass of the dextran decreases, resulting in a reduction in elastic modulus of the gels made. Upon encapsulation of the bacteriocin nisin into the gels, varying the dextran mass/oxidation level allowed the antimicrobial activity against S. aureus to be controlled. Gels made with a higher molecular weight (less oxidised) dextran show a higher initial degree of inhibition while those made with a lower molecular weight (more oxidised) dextran exhibit a more sustained inhibition. Incorporating glycol chitosan into gels composed of dextran with higher masses significantly increased their storage modulus and the gels' initial degree of inhibition.

[PMID: 36547534 PMCID: PMC9784917 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13040273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different types of nanocellulose, i.e., cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), and also different drying methods (oven-drying and freeze-drying) on the properties of acrylic acid (AA)/sodium alginate (SA) super absorbent polymers (SAPs). In addition, the presence of ammonium per sulfate as an initiator and N-N methylene-bis-acrylamide as a cross-linker were considered. Synthesized SAPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The absorption and rheological properties (i.e., storage modulus and loss modulus) were also investigated. The results of FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated several types of interactions, such as hydrogen and esterification, between SA, AA and nanocellulose. SEM analysis revealed a microporous structure in the SAPs. All SAPs had a centrifuge retention capacity (CRC)/free swelling capacity (FSC) ≥ 69%. The absorption behavior showed that the oven-dried SAPs had superior (about 2×) CRC and FRC in different aqueous media compared to the freeze-dried counterparts. The freeze-dried SAPs showed increased rheological properties in comparison to the oven-dried ones, with SAPs containing BNC and CNC having the highest rheological properties, respectively. Overall, it can be concluded that oven-dried SAPs containing CNC had better absorption properties than the other ones tested in this study.

Abstract
β-Cyclodextrin was attached to lignin/lignin crosslinked by epichlorohydrin and served as a drug delivery matrix. Ketoconazole and piroxicam were added into the polymeric matrix as antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents, respectively. The percentage of drug retained ranged from 48.4% to 58.4% for ketoconazole and piroxicam, respectively. It was found that their tensile strengths increased with decreasing particle size, ranging between 59% and 71% for lignin crosslinked with β-cyclodextrin base matrix (LCD). Depending on the polymeric matrix, the drug release kinetics fit well in the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, with or without Fickian diffusion. From the materials based on the mixture of epoxidized lignin and β-cyclodextrin, the medicines were released more slowly (the release rate constant presents lower values ranging between 1.117 and 1.783), as compared with those comprising LCD (2.210-4.824). The materials were also demonstrated to have antimicrobial activity. The antioxidant activity of LCD loaded with piroxicam was found to be 23.9% greater than that of the base matrix (LCD). These findings could be useful towards β-cyclodextrin attached to lignin formulation development of drug carriers with antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Lignin, as the second most abundant source in nature, is considered as a good precursor for hard carbon. However, direct carbonization of pure lignin leads to low surface area and porosity. Herein we develop a method to prepare lignin-based porous carbon by a self-template method assisted with surface modification. The oxygen-containing functional groups are introduced to regulate the surface chemistry of lignin. And the metal ions are chosen to coordinate with the oxygen-containing group in the lignin, which can form the carbonates to act as the self template to regulate the pores structure. The aromatic skeleton of lignin can also disperse the metal ions to bring uniform pore-forming sites. The results show that the carbonized lignin modified by chloroacetic acid (CCL) shows mesopores with surface area of 233.4384 m2 g-1. As anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the CCL shows a specific capacity of 500 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1. The capacity retention was 99 % after 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g-1, which are superior to most reported carbon anode. This work proposes a low-cost anode for LIBs and put forward a regulation strategy for bio-mass carbon. Besides, it would reduce the discard of lignin and alleviate the pollution.

Abstract
Ionic conductive hydrogels prepared from various biological macromolecules are ideal materials for the manufacture of human motion sensors from the perspective of resource regeneration and environmental sustainability. However, it is still challenging to prepare hydrogels with both high toughness and self-healing ability. In this study, lignin-based β-CD-PVA (LCP) self-healing conductive hydrogels with high tensile properties were prepared by one-step method using alkali lignin as a plasticizer. Compared with PVA hydrogel, the maximum storage modulus and elongation were increased by 2.5 and 20.0 times, respectively. Uniform distribution of lignin can increase the fluidity and distance of polymer molecular chains, thus improving the viscoelastic and tensile properties of the LCP self-healing hydrogel. LCP hydrogels can maintain self-healing ability in both high (45 °C) and low temperature (0 °C) environments, and the self-healing ability is not affected by pH. Moreover, it also has good conductivity, anti-bacterial, thermostability, and anti-UV property, which has a good application prospect in the field of 3D printing and wearable electronic devices, which expands the efficient utilization of lignin in biorefinery.

Abstract
Sustainable materials are attracting a lot of attention since they will be critical in the creation of the next generation of products and devices. In this study, hydrogels were effectively synthesized utilizing lignin, a non-valorised biopolymer from the paper industry. This study proposes a method based on utilizing lignin to create highly swollen hydrogels using poly(ethylene) glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) as a crosslinking agent. The influence of different crosslinker ratios on the structural and chemical properties of the resultant hydrogels was investigated. Pore size was observed to be lowered when the amount of crosslinker was increased. The inclusion of additional hydrophilic groups in the hydrogel network decreased the swelling capacity of the hydrogels as the crosslinking density increases. These precursor materials were carbonised and electrochemically tested for application as electrodes for supercapacitors with capacitance characterized as a function of crosslinker ratio.

Abstract
It is of great challenge to prepare lignin-derived carbon microfibers with suitable graphite crystallites due to the volatilization of incorporated polymers. In this work, we proposed a simple method for the construction of graphite crystallites based on the regulation of the hydrogen-bonding interaction between hardwood Kraft lignin (HKL) and poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA). The strong hydrogen-bonding interaction demonstrated by the results of TG, FTIR, XPS, Raman and XRD increased the graphite crystal size and perfected the crystal structure of HKL-based carbon microfibers, which further enhanced the electrochemical performance of HKL/PMIA-based carbon microfibers electrodes, especially for the increase of capacitance and cycle performance and the decrease of charge transfer resistance. The specific capacitance, energy density and power density of P2H2-based (HKL/PMIA = 1:1) carbon microfibers electrode were up to 190.8 F g-1, 34.4 Wh kg-1 and 540 W kg-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1, respectively, which were comparable to or even higher than those of lignin composites-based carbon fibers electrodes. This work reveals the relationship between hydrogen-bonding interaction and crystalline structure, which can be further considered in the preparation of lignin-based carbon fibers electrodes.

Abstract
Lignin sulfonate (LS), a waste material from the paper pulping, was modified with benzoic anhydride to obtain benzoylated lignin sulfonates of adjustable hydrophilicity (BLS). When BLS was combined with difenoconazole (Di), a broad-spectrum fungicide, lignin-based, non-crosslinked nanoparticles were obtained either by solvent exchange or solvent evaporation. When a mass ratio of 1:5 LS: benzoic anhydride was used, the Di release from Di@BLS5 after 1248 h was ca. 74 %, while a commercial difenoconazole microemulsion (Di ME) reached 100 % already after 96 h, proving the sustained release from the lignin nanocarriers. The formulation of Di in lignin-based nanocarriers also improved the UV stability and the foliar retention of Di compared to the commercial formulation of the fungicide. Bioactivity assay showed that Di@BLS5 exhibited high activities and duration against strawberry anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides). Overall, the construction of fungicide delivery nano-platform using BLS via a simple non-crosslinked approach is a novel and promising way to develop new formulations for nanopesticide and the development of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
With the gradual global standardization of carbon emission policies, the development of renewable resources to replace traditional fossil resources is assuming increasing importance. Lignin is the most abundant natural source of aromatic compounds and has the potential to replace petroleum-based aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, the rigid benzene ring structure and excellent photothermal properties of lignin were exploited to produce light-driven lignin-based shape memory polymers (ELEPs) that contain high proportions of lignin and have good mechanical properties. Enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin (EL), epoxy soybean oil (ESO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) were copolymerized and cured to form ELEPs, which have a disordered three-dimensional network. An increase in the proportion of EL from 40 to 60 wt% enhanced the mechanical properties, as reflected by an increase in tensile strength from 11.3 to 30.8 MPa and in the glass transition temperature (Tg) from 93 to 115.7 °C. Under simulated solar irradiation (2000 W m-2), ELEP50, which contains 50 wt% lignin and has a Tg of 105 °C, reached a surface temperature as high as 105 °C and achieved shape memory within 20 s. The shape fixation ratio (Rf) and shape recovery ratio (Rr) were stably >98 % and >97 %, respectively, over eight cycles in a bending-recovery experiment. The unique light-driven shape memory properties of ELEPs provide a method for high value utilization of EL, and the design strategy offers new ideas for producing novel intelligent materials.

Abstract
Lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) represent a group of macromolecules with diverse biological functions such as antioxidative properties. Polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases such as spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) comprise a set of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the formation of polyQ protein aggregates in patient neurons. LCCs have been reported to prevent such protein aggregation. In this study, we identified a potential mechanism underlying the above anti-protein aggregation activity. We isolated and characterized multiple LCC fractions from bamboo and poplar and found that lignin-rich LCCs (BM-LCC-AcOH and PR-LCC-AcOH) effectively eliminated both monomeric and aggregated mutant ataxin-3 (ATXN3polyQ) proteins in neuronal cells and a Drosophila melanogaster SCA3 disease model. In addition, treatment with BM-LCC-AcOH or PR-LCC-AcOH rescued photoreceptor degeneration in vivo. At the mechanistic level, we demonstrated that BM-LCC-AcOH and PR-LCC-AcOH upregulated proteasomal activity. When proteasomal function was impaired, the ability of the LCCs to suppress ATXN3polyQ aggregation was abolished. Thus, we identified a previously undescribed proteasome-inducing function of LCCs and showed that such activity is indispensable for the beneficial effects of LCCs on SCA3 neurotoxicity.

Abstract
It is still a challenge to find an effective solvent system that can simultaneously dissolve the cellulose and lignin in biomass residues to fabricate lignocellulose hydrogels (LHs). Herein, corncob residues from furfural production were pretreated with alkaline peroxide to regulate the lignin content. The lignin/cellulose composites with various lignin content were then dissolved and regenerated by a green and facile ZnCl2/CaCl2 solvent system. The inorganic salt solvents were served as linkers and flexible LHs were obtained. Substrate material containing 10.75% lignin shows the best compressive stress (76.71 kPa). Inspired by its superior ionic conductivity, the hydrogels were assembled into a solid-state electrolyte for a zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor. This research develops a feasible, simple, and low-cost route for lignin-containing hydrogel preparation and offers insights into the high-value application of agro-industrial lignocellulosic wastes.

Abstract
In this work a hydrogel, based on a blend of two gellan gums with different acyl content embedding lignin (up to 0.4%w/v) and crosslinked with magnesium ions, was developed for cartilage regeneration. The physico-chemical characterizations established that no chemical interaction between lignin and polysaccharides was detected. Lignin achieved up to 80 % of ascorbic acid's radical scavenging activity in vitro on DPPH and ABTS radicals. Viability of hMSC onto hydrogel containing lignin resulted comparable to the lignin-free one (>70 % viable cells, p > 0.05). The presence of lignin improved the hMSC 3D-constructs chondrogenesis, bringing to a significant (p < 0.05) up-regulation of the collagen type II, aggrecan and SOX 9 chondrogenic genes, and conferred bacteriostatic properties to the hydrogel, reducing the proliferation of S. aureus and S. epidermidis. Finally, cellularized 3D-constructs were manufactured via 3D-bioprinting confirming the processability of the formulation as a bioink and its unique biological features for creating a physiological milieu for cell growth.

Abstract
We developed a highly conductive and flexible, anti-freezing sulfonated lignin (SL)-containing polyacrylic acid (PAA) (SL-g-PAA-Ni) hydrogel, with a high concentration of NiCl2. Ni2+ contributes multi-functions to the preparation of the hydrogel and its final properties, such as fast polymerization reaction as a result of the presence of redox pairs of Ni3+/Ni2+ and hydroquinone/quinone, and anti-freezing properties of the hydrogel due to the salt effects of NiCl2 so that at -20 °C the hydrogel shows similar properties to those at the room temperature. Thanks to the effective coordinations of Ni2+ with catecholic groups and carboxylic groups, as well as the rich hydrogen bonding capacity, the resultant hydrogel possesses excellent mechanical properties. High ionic conductivity (6.85 S·m-1) of the hydrogel is obtained due to the supply of high concentration of Ni2+. Moreover, the ionic solvation effect of NiCl2 in the hydrogel imparts excellent water retention ability, with water retention of ~93 % after 21-day storage. The SL-g-PAA-Ni hydrogel can accurately detect various human motions at -20 °C. The supercapacitor assembled from SL-g-PAA-Al hydrogel at -20 °C manifests a high specific capacitance of 252 F·g-1, with maximum energy density of 26.97 Wh·kg-1, power density of 2667 W·kg-1, and capacitance retention of 96.7 % after 3000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
To reveal the existence of p-hydroxyphenyl (H) units in compressed wood lignin, four different milled wood lignins were extracted using Pinus massoniana Lamb compressed wood, Pinus massoniana Lamb normal wood, and sugarcane bagasse as raw materials. Then, three dehydrogenation polymers (DHPs) were synthesized using coniferyl/p-coumaryl alcohol as raw materials to reveal the interunit linkages of H units. The lignin and DHP samples were systematically characterized by 1H, 13C, 2D HSQC, and 31P NMR techniques. Compared with the opposite wood milled wood lignin (OW-MWL) and the normal wood milled wood lignin (NW-MWL), the compressed wood milled wood lignin (CW-MWL) contained a large amount of H units, and the H/G ratio and the p-hydroxyphenyl OH group contents were 0.15 and 1.09 mmol/g, respectively. Through the characterization of CW-MWL and DHPs, it was revealed that p-hydroxyphenyl units mainly coupled with other units by β-O-4, β-β, and β-5 linkages. Compared to the sugarcane bagasse milled wood lignin, it was clearly demonstrated that the H unit rather than p-coumarate ester occurred in CW-MWL. This study comprehensively explored the structural characteristics and linkages of H units in compress wood lignin, and provided useful information for revealing the participation of H units in the construction of lignin macromolecules.

Abstract
Liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment has been widely investigated attributed to its advantages, such as environmental friendliness, the potential application of dissolved hemicellulose, and no chemical addition. Expanding the portfolio of products that can be made from LHW pretreatment solutions will be critical to enabling a viable LHW-based economy. We provide a one-step method to separate and functionalize lignin from the LHW pretreatment solution. A hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (hDES) was prepared by using methyltrioctylammonium chloride (MTAC) and the LHW pretreatment solution and directly applied to the extraction of Cr (VI) in an aqueous solution. In the process of forming hDES, the removal rate of liquid hot water lignin (LHWL) was reached 99%. The new LHW-hDES exhibited excellent extraction performance for Cr (VI), the extraction capacity was as high as 198.402 mg g-1, optimum extraction conditions at the mass of hDES 0.10 g, vortex time 90 s, room temperature, and natural pH. Notably, we have shown that the method of combining the separation and functionalization of lignin in the LHW pretreatment solution, which can provide a way of thinking for the application of the LHW pretreatment solution.

Abstract
Primary bone tumors especially, sarcomas affect adolescents the most because it originates from osteoblasts cells responsible for bone growth. Chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy are the most often used clinical treatments. Regrettably, surgical resection frequently fails to entirely eradicate the tumor, which is the primary cause of metastasis and postoperative recurrence, leading to a high death rate. Additionally, bone tumors frequently penetrate significant regions of bone, rendering them incapable of self-repair, and impairing patients' quality of life. As a result, treating bone tumors and regenerating bone in the clinic is difficult. In recent decades, numerous sorts of alternative therapy approaches have been investigated due to a lack of approved treatments. Among the novel therapeutic approaches, hydrogel-based anticancer therapy has cleared the way for the development of new targeted techniques for treating bone cancer and bone regeneration. They include strategies such as co-delivery of several drug payloads, enhancing their biodistribution and transport capabilities, normalizing accumulation, and optimizing drug release profiles to decrease the limitations of current therapy. This review discusses current advances in functionalized hydrogels to develop a new technique for treating bone tumors by reducing postoperative tumor recurrence and promoting tissue repair.

Abstract
Lignin-containing bamboo cellulose, fractionated from a pilot-scale microwave liquefaction of bamboo was dissolved in tetrabutylammonium acetate/dimethyl sulfoxide (TBAA/DMSO) for the fabrication of highly flexible, transparent and UV-blocking films. Tea polyphenol (TP) or citric acid (CA) was added during the dissolving process in order to modify the film's properties. The results showed that the addition of TP obviously improved the elongation at break (triple that of the control) and UV-blocking ability of the films. Both the addition of TP and CA could increase the water contact angle of the films. The films incorporated with TP and CA were much more thermal stable than previously reported similar films. The proposed film fabrication mechanism revealed that stable hydrogen bonds formed between the lignin-cellulose matrix and TP/CA, resulting in the enhancement on the properties of the films. This present study showed that lignin-containing cellulose with the incorporation of TP/CA had great potential in the preparation of films in place of plastic.

Abstract
The human digestive and absorption system has a specific pH environment, which makes it difficult to for accurate drug-release. Zwitterionic hydrogel, as a kind of drug carrier, is a feasible response strategy. In this work, a facile method was employed to prepare a series zwitterionic hydrogels composed of BC and chitosan. The composite gels could in-situ formed via Schiff's base reaction between partially oxidated bacterial cellulose and chitosan which exhibited relatively well mechanical properties. Besides, the rich amino and carboxyl groups endowed the hydrogels with excellent pH responsive performance. The minimum swelling rate of the hydrogels appeared at pH 3.5-pH 5.0. In lower or higher pH solutions, the swelling rate was greatly increased. The drug (naproxen) loading of the hydrogels was above 110 mg/g. The release amount of naproxen in the simulated gastric juice was less than intestinal fluid with the sustained release time exceeded 24 h. Through kinetic simulation analysis, the drug release behavior is in accordance with zero-order release model. Such kind of composite hydrogel is suggested to be a potential drug carrier for clinical therapy.

Abstract
Lignin is one of the most abundant naturally occurring polymers and can produce value-added products such as vanillin and p-coumaric acid. In the current work, in-situ depolymerization of lignin for its valorization in a microbial peroxide-producing cell (MPPC) system was performed. It is an electrochemical cell that requires no external energy to produce H2O2 for the advanced oxidation process. Lignin in the MPPC system undergoes oxidative depolymerization to generate value-added products. The maximum open-circuit voltage (OCV) was 1.143 V, the current density and power densities were 14 mA/cm2 and 13 mW/cm2, respectively, along with the production of 26 mM of H2O2. The degradation of signature linkages such as β-β bond and β-0-4 bond were analyzed and confirmed using FTIR spectroscopy. Vanillin, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, etc. were generated during depolymerization and were detected using LC-QTOF-MS.
