The xylan removals were 16.69%–39.49% when pretreating CS by ADAC at 150 °C, which resulted in lower glucose yields of <65%. Elevating the temperature to 180 °C improved lignin and xylan removals to 64.93% and 92.57% under SuA pretreatment. In this case, glucose yield reached 88%, which was 4.27-fold to that of untreated CS. The fermentability of ADAC-pretreated CS hydrolysates was then used for bioethanol production.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) represents the largest natural carbon resource on the planet and is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, yet it is still primarily used for low-value products. To advance the field, the capability of biomass as a feedstock for advanced materials necessitates viewing deconstruction and reconstruction not as distinct processes but as a unified, codesigned route. This review enhances that viewpoint by employing the “deconstruction–reconstruction” framework to link biomass fractionation with the potential products generated from it. We critically assess mild activation, component fractionation, and partial degradation through their ability to preserve the functional groups and structural motifs that govern downstream performance. Building on this, we map reconstruction pathways from biomass-derived macromonomers into thermoplastics, thermosets, gel systems, vitrimeric elastomers, coatings, and adhesives. By linking these relationships back to deconstruction chemistry, the review identifies feedstock–process–property combinations that enable high-value circular materials. Finally, we identify the barriers that still limit scale-up, namely feedstock variability, lignin heterogeneity, and solvent recovery, and outline data-driven and green-chemistry strategies for the rational design of circular lignocellulose-based materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":149,"journal":{"name":"ChemSusChem","volume":"19 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149048595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
