Abstract
We introduce a strategy to disintegrate cellulose microfibrils present in the cell walls of plant fibers. The process includes impregnation and mild oxidation followed by ultrasonication, which loosens the hydrophilic planes of crystalline cellulose while preserving the hydrophobic ones. The resultant molecularly-sized cellulose structures (cellulose ribbons, CR) retain a length of the order of a micron (1.47 ± 0.48 μm, AFM). A very high axial aspect ratio is determined (at least 190), considering the CR height (0.62 ± 0.38 nm, AFM), corresponding to 1-2 cellulose chains, and width (7.64 ± 1.82 nm, TEM). The new molecularly-thin cellulose proposes excellent hydrophilicity and flexibility, enabling a remarkable viscosifying effect when dispersed in aqueous media (shear-thinning, zero shear viscosity of 6.3 × 105 mPa·s). As such, CR suspensions readily develop into gel-like Pickering emulsions in the absence of crosslinking, suitable for direct ink writing at ultra-low solids content.

Abstract
Cellulose nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), have received enormous attention in various material research fields due to their unique properties and green/sustainable nature, among other qualities. Herein, we report hollow-type annular cellulose nanocrystals (HTA-CNCs), which are generated by following a high-intensity ultrasonic treatment. The advanced aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy results reveal that HTA-CNCs exhibit ring structures with a typical diameter of 10.0-30.0 nm, a width of 3.0-4.0 nm, and a thickness of 2.0-5.0 nm, similar to those of elementary crystallites. The X-ray diffraction measurements show that the as-prepared HTA-CNCs maintain the cellulose I structure. The changes in structure and hydrogen-bonding characteristics of HTA-CNCs are further determined based on the FT-IR results after deconvolution fitting, showing that three types of hydrogen bonds decrease and the content of free OH increases in HTA-CNCs compared with those in the original CNCs. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation is carried out to support the experimental study. The formation of HTA-CNCs might be attributed to the structural change and entropy increase. The hollow-type annular CNCs may have broad value-added applications as cellulose nanomaterials in different fields.

Abstract
Abstract
This contribution attempts to describe the path towards determination of cellulose crystal structure down to atomic coordinates, towards the determination of its molecular conformation, as well as towards the details of the intricate pattern of hydrogen bonds and their dynamics. This path started at the beginning of the 20th century with X-ray diffraction, continued with electron diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and significant knowledge was gained by methods of NMR spectroscopy. Towards the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, X-ray diffraction in conjunction with neutron diffraction provided the position of hydrogens, which led to detailed description of the geometry of hydrogen bonding network in cellulose. Quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations, polarized infrared spectroscopy and sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy were used to identify the origins of the vibrational modes in cellulose and to describe their extensive coupling mediated by hydrogen bonds. The role of amphiphilic character of cellulose macromolecule (and consequent hydrophobic interactions) in cellulose properties and behavior has been gaining more recognition in the 21st century.

Abstract
Cellulose disassembly is an important issue in designing nanostructures using cellulose-based materials. In this work, we present a combination of experimental and theoretical study addressing the disassembly of cellulose nanofibrils. Through 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-mediated oxidation processes, combined with atomic force microscopy results, we show the formation of nanofibers with diameters corresponding to that of a single-cellulose polymer chain. The formation of these polymer chains is controlled by repulsive electrostatic interactions between the oxidized chains. Further, first-principles calculations have been performed in order to provide an atomistic understanding of the cellulose disassembling processes, focusing on the balance between the interchain (IC) and intersheet (IS) interactions upon oxidation. First, we analyze these interactions in pristine systems, where we found the IS interaction to be stronger than the IC interaction. In the oxidized systems, we have considered the formation of (charged) carboxylate groups along the inner sites of elementary fibrils. We show a net charge concentration on the carboxylate groups, supporting the emergence of repulsive electrostatic interactions between the cellulose nanofibers. Indeed, our total energy results show that the weakening of the binding strength between the fibrils is proportional to the concentration and net charge density of the carboxylate group. Moreover, by comparing the IC and IS binding energies, we found that most of the disassembly processes should take place by breaking the IC O-H···O hydrogen bond interactions and thus supporting the experimental observation of single- and double-cellulose polymer chains.

Abstract
Rice straw has an enormous amount of biomass for energy use, but the complexity of the cell wall component hinders technical processes. Although belonging to rice straws, the straws from different varieties should be with different treatment strategies to obtain best energy efficiency. To confirm this hypothesis, 7 different rice varieties (RPY GENG, RIL269, RIL272, RIL31, RIL57, RIL06, LUOHUI 9) with different cell wall traits from RIL population were evaluated for their response toward different pretreatments. For japonica RPY GENG, 2% of H2SO4 acid was best pre-treatment while high acid (5% of H2SO4) pretreatment caused undue loss. For Indica LUOHUI 9 rice, high acid pretreatment was suitable, while RIL57 had maximum of glucose yield with high alkali (10% NaOH) pretreatment. High-concentration alkali pretreatment is the most convenient and effective pretreatment method for the treatment of unknown varieties of rice straws, because the lignin has been removed and has the lowest negative effects on the glucose yield under the high alkali condition. As the RILs used in this study vary considerably in their wall structure, an understanding of their response to different pre-treatments confirms our hypothesis and help us to understand the influence of different wall compositions on the final output.

Abstract
The improvement of the saccharification of rice straw is one of the strategies to reduce the sophisticated pretreatment that results in high cost and is unfriendly to the environment. We explored the cell wall features in tetraploid rice and highlighted the enhanced saccharification of tetraploid with large biomass. Results showed that lignin content and S/G ratio reduced to 17.09% and 0.37, respectively, in tetraploid straw by the determination of the pyGC-MS method. After the pretreatment, the cellulose crystallinity index decreased from 63.22% to 57.65% in tetraploid straw, which is lower than that of pretreated diploid straw. Surface topological analysis of SEM images indicated that tetraploid straw was more susceptible to the pretreatment. Tetraploid straw showed a strong advantage in the process of enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzyme efficiency reached the highest value of 77.60%, and the rate of enzyme reaction was improved to make the reaction saturated earlier than conventional rice. We concluded that the high saccharification has resulted from the alteration of lignin and cellulose in tetraploid rice. Our research provides an improved green feedstock for bioenergy, and the tetraploid rice straw shows the potential utilization value in bioethanol production.

Abstract
Cellulose is the major polysaccharide of cell walls in every plant, making it one of the most abundant natural polymers on Earth. However, despite many decades of investigations, the supramolecular structure of cellulose and especially its variation in the cell walls of different plants have still not been fully revealed. In the present study, cellulose from the parenchymatic tissue of apple fruits and carrot roots was isolated, and nanocellulose was further prepared by high-intensity ultrasonication. AFM revealed that the obtained nanocellulose differed in dimension between the two plant species. Compared with carrot cellulose, whose nanocellulose was obtained in the form of whiskers, apple cellulose had longer and thinner nanofibrils. Both nanocellulose types also differed in terms of their crystalline structure. XRD data indicated that, compared with the apple cellulose, the carrot cellulose had a higher degree of crystallinity and larger crystallites. Moreover, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy revealed differences between the cellulose types in terms of their methine environment, hydroxymethyl conformations and skeletal vibrations. Additionally, with respect to their mechanical properties, the less crystalline apple cellulose and nanocellulose films were more elastic than the stiffer carrot cellulose and nanocellulose films. The possible reason for such differences between the two cellulose types is related to differences in plant tissue morphology and function. During development, apple fruit cell walls must withstand increasing turgor, probably higher that in the case of carrot tissue; therefore, the cellulose scaffolding must be elastic and strong. On the other hand, carrot, a root vegetable, also has to be strong enough to penetrate the soil as well as for its own growth; thus, the cell wall and cellulose scaffold have to be stiff and tough. Thus the structure of nanocellulose depends not only on the treatment but also on the cellulose source.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a fundamental understanding of the adsorption behavior of metal ions on cellulose surfaces using experimental techniques supported by computational modeling, taking Ag(I) as an example. Force interactions among three types of cellulose microspheres (native cellulose and its derivatives with sulfate and phosphate groups) and the silica surface in AgNO3 solution were studied with atomic force microscopy (AFM) using the colloidal probe technique. The adhesion force between phosphate cellulose microspheres (PCM) and the silica surface in the aqueous AgNO3 medium increased significantly with increasing pH while the adhesion force slightly decreased for sulfate cellulose microspheres (SCM), and no clear adhesion force was observed for native cellulose microspheres (CM). The stronger adhesion enhancement for the PCM system is mainly attributed to the electrostatic attraction between Ag(I) and the negative silica surface. The observed force trends were in good agreement with the measured zeta potentials. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analyses confirmed the presence of silver on the surface of cellulose microspheres after adsorption. This study showed that PCM with a high content of phosphate groups exhibited a larger amount of adsorbed Ag(I) than CM and SCM and possible clustering of Ag(I) to nanoparticles. The presence of the phosphate group and a wavenumber shift of the P-OH vibration caused by the adsorption of silver ions on the phosphate groups were further confirmed with computational studies using density functional theory (DFT), which gives support to the above findings regarding the adsorption and clustering of Ag(I) on the cellulose surface decorated with phosphate groups as well as IR spectra.

1-Acetamido-1-deoxy-(4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranose) (5) and 1-deoxy-1-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolyl)-(4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranose) (7) were synthesised from 1-azido-1-deoxy-(4-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-β-d-glucopyranose) (2) and crystallised as dihydrates. Crystal structural analysis of 5·2H2O displayed an acetamide C(4) chain and stacked cellobiose residues. The structure of 7·2H2O featured π-π stacking and stacking of the cellobiose residues.

Abstract
Increasing the range of fuels and bioproducts that are derived from lignocellulosic biomass and the efficiency at which they are produced hinges on a detailed understanding of the cell wall biosynthetic process. Herein, we review the structure and biosynthesis of lignocellulosic biomass and also highlight recent breakthroughs that demonstrate a complex regulatory system of transcription factors, small interfering RNAs and phosphorylation that ultimately dictate the development of the polyalaminate cell wall. Finally, we provide an update on cases where plant biotechnology has been used to improve lignocellulosic biomass utilization as a second-generation biofuel source.

Abstract
Car-Parrinello-based ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (CPMD) combined with metadynamics (MTD) simulations were used to determine the reaction energetics for the beta-D-xylose condensation reaction to form beta-1,4-linked xylobiose in a dilute acid solution. Protonation of the hydroxyl group on the xylose molecule and the subsequent breaking of the C-O bond were found to be the rate-limiting step during the xylose condensation reaction. Water and water structure was found to play a critical role in these reactions due to the proton's high affinity for water molecules. The reaction free energy and reaction barrier were determined using CPMD-MTD. We found that solvent reorganization due to proton partial desolvation must be taken into account in order to obtain the correct reaction activation energy. Our calculated reaction free energy and reaction activation energy compare well with available experimental results.

Abstract
The influence of temperature on structure and properties of the cellulose Ibeta crystal was studied by molecular dynamics simulations with the GROMOS 45a4 force-field. At 300 K, the modeled crystal agreed reasonably with several sets of experimental data, including crystal density, corresponding packing and crystal unit cell dimensions, chain conformation parameters, hydrogen bonds, Young's modulus, and thermal expansion coefficient at room temperature. At high-temperature (500 K), the cellulose chains remained in sheets, despite differences in the fine details compared to the room-temperature structure. The density decreased while the a and b cell parameters expanded by 7.4% and 6%, respectively, and the c parameter (chain axis) slightly contracted by 0.5%. Cell angles alpha and beta divided into two populations. The hydroxymethyl groups mainly adopted the gt orientation, and the hydrogen-bonding pattern thereby changed. One intrachain hydrogen bond, O2'H2'...O6, disappeared and consequently the Young's modulus decreased by 25%. A transition pathway between the low- and high-temperature structures has been proposed, with an initial step being an increased intersheet separation, which allowed every second cellulose chain to rotate around its helix axis by about 30 degrees . Second, all hydroxymethyl groups changed their orientations, from tg to gg (rotated chains) and from tg to gt (non-rotated chains). When temperature was further increased, the rotated chains returned to their original orientation and their hydroxymethyl groups again changed their conformation, from gg to gt. A transition temperature of about 450 K was suggested; however, the transition seems to be more gradual than sudden. The simulated data on temperature-induced changes in crystal unit cell dimensions and the hydrogen-bonding pattern also compared well with experimental results.

Abstract
Understanding the molecular architecture of the plant cell wall is critical to reducing the biomass recalcitrance problem, which currently impedes economic bioconversion processing. The parenchyma cell walls from field senesced, maize stem pith have been directly visualized without extraction processes using high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM). By imaging the cell wall inner surfaces from different cells and different faces of the same cell, we were able to map the native primary cell wall ultrastructures. Depending on the thickness of non-cellulosic deposition, the parallel-microfibrils appear in various morphologies ranging from clearly defined to completely embedded in the wall matrixes forming cell wall lamella. Macrofibrils were found to exist only on the uppermost layer of the native primary cell wall and appeared to be bundles of elementary fibrils. This novel observation led us to a new hypothesis for the cell wall fibrillar network and biosynthesis processes. Put concisely, a number of elementary fibrils are synthesized at one locus, that of the cellulose synthase complex (CelS), and coalesce into much larger macrofibrils. These macrofibrils eventually split at the ends to form parallel microfibrils with deposition of other cell wall components (i.e. hemicelluloses, pectin, etc.) also evident. On the basis of these AFM surface measurements and current supportive evidence from cell wall biophysics, biosynthesis, and genomics, we propose a new molecular model consisting of a 36-glucan-chain elementary fibril, in which the 36-glucan chains form both crystalline and subcrystalline structures. We also propose a modified model of CelS based on recently reported experimental evidence from plant cell wall biosynthesis.
