Three possible routes to form such oligomers in these depolymerization processes are summarized and compared from various studies conducted on model compounds. Next, the main identification techniques for characterizing oligomeric products are highlighted. Particular focus is given to 2D-HSQC-NMR, GPC, Maldi-TOF-MS and FT-ICR-MS, which represent the state-of-art characterization of lignin. Special attention was paid to the transferability of these techniques for depolymerized oligomeric lignin.

Highly similar to the ion-sensing mechanism of natural skin, the ionic skin also acquires and conducts perceptual signals in the form of ions. During this decade, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the species amplification of ionic soft matter and the discovery of new mechanisms of artificial ion sensing. It is worth emphasizing that the deciphering of the perceptual mechanisms of natural skin has inspired a great number of bionic studies in pursuit of the reproduction of natural touch in ionic skin. Ionic skin, as a multi-functional operating platform, is also endowed with attractive functions that are beyond natural skin. The birth and appearance of ionic skin greatly promote the vigorous development of products in the era of the internet of things, such as human-machine interaction, prosthetics and wearable devices. In this review, on the basis of explaining the perceptual mechanism of natural skin, we deeply analyze the progressive sensing mechanism of bionic ionic skin.

The information can facilitate the development of robust and selective catalytic systems to address the challenges in the major reaction steps. We present four catalytic conversion route maps starting from cellulose (including 5-hydroxylfurfural, HMF), hemicellulose and lignin, respectively. The reaction route for the important platform molecules of HMF and furfural, passing through critical intermediates to value-added chemicals and aviation fuels, is also highlighted.

However, their inherently low electrical conductivity and stability greatly hinder their further applications. Therefore, strategies such as synthesizing two-dimensional conductive MOFs, designing unsaturated metal sites, and building MOF nanoarrays have been developed to enhance the conductivity and catalytic reaction transfer rates of MOFs, accompanied by the rational designs of MOFs for improving their stability. In this review, the applications of MOF-based electrocatalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) are presented in detail with the classification of monometallic MOFs, bimetallic MOFs, MOF-based composites and MOFs as supports.
