As it generally involves processes including pretreatment, hydrolysis, and fermentation, LCB-based biorefinery at higher solids loading may improve substrate concentration and reduce operational costs, yet its scaling-up remains a challenge. Here, efficient conversion of corn stover (CS) at high solids loading into microbial lipids was demonstrated in a 1 000 L pilot-scale bioreactor using <em>Rhodosporidium toruloides</em> CGMCC 2.1389. The process employed lab-optimized conditions, including alkaline storage pretreatment of CS (AS-CS) with 6% NaOH for over 60 d at room temperature. The AS-CS (100 kg) was steamed in the 1 000 L bioreactor at 121 °C for 1 h at a solids loading of 20%, followed by subsequent removal of alkaline black liquor (ABL) using squeeze technology. The leftover residues were hydrolyzed by enzymes with a total reducing sugar (TRS) recovery of 93.6%. The lipid production in the 1 000 L bioreactor resulted in a lipid titer of 10.6 g/L and a yield of 0.194 g/g (based on consumed TRS). The mass flow analysis suggested that 89.6% of cellulose and 95.5% of hemicelluloses were released to produce lipids with little lignin by-products, avoiding their toxic effects on lipid production. The developed process in this work offers a promising avenue for industrial conversion of LCB into microbial lipids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"11 1","pages":"Article 100222"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146154326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a dual strategy of internal cross-linking and external functional coating was employed to fabricate high-barrier nanocellulose-based packaging. Dialdehyde CNF (DCNF) was incorporated into pristine CNF to form a dense cross-linking network containing hemiacetal linkages and hydrogen bonds.

The influence of DCNF oxidation time and CNF incorporation ratio on film crystallinity and water resistance was systematically studied. The synergistic interaction of DCNF/CNF crosslinking and surface coatings endows the composite membrane (DCNF_1-75/CNF/ECCur) with exceptional barrier properties, achieving a 44% reduction in water vapor transmission rate and 99% suppression of oxygen transmission rate.

In this review, the correlation mechanism, industrial status quo, core challenges and optimization paths between the transformation of forest biological resources and dual carbon goals are systematically analyzed. The transformation of forest biological resources involves carbon sequestration through photosynthesis and the processing and conversion of carbon from woody and nonwoody forest resources. Relying on direct emission reduction (process optimization and energy upgrading) and indirect emission reduction/carbon substitution (building materials, energy and fuel substitution) mechanisms to support the dual carbon goals, globally, three major transformation directions have been formed—wood processing, nonwood processing, and biomass energy—as well as three core industrial areas in North America, Europe, and Asia. The current industry is confronted with challenges such as technological bottlenecks (e.g., the conversion efficiency of lignocellulose is only 40%–55%), economic market constraints (the price of biobased products is approximately 1.3–3.0 times that of petrochemical-based products), and fragmented policies and standards. Most existing reviews focus on a single technical path or policy framework and lack a systematic perspective of “full value chain collaboration + multiobjective balance”. Moreover, a theoretical framework for the transformation of forest biological resources that integrates “technology research and development-industrial implementation-policy guarantee-ecological balance” is constructed. In addition, the quantitative goals and implementation paths for the three major transformation directions of “high-value product coproduction, low-carbon transformation, and circular utilization” are clearly defined.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts","volume":"11 1","pages":"Article 100231"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146154149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) assembled by surface-modified hydrogels may be one of the promising strategies to address this challenge. This study presents the development of a multifunctional composite hydrogel, which is synthesized through the amino surface modification of glycerin-cellulose hydrogel (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-glycerin-cellulose, A-GC). The resulting composite hydrogel is utilized in the fabrication of electrodes of TENGs, which can effectively harvest mechanical energy to power flexible sensors. By using cellulose and glycerin as primary raw materials and 3-aminotriethoxysilane as surface modification components, the composite hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, coupled with good electrical conductivity (2.83 S/m). More importantly, it exhibits a high triboelectric output performance of 205.3 V, maintains stable long-term triboelectric output, and achieves a maximum triboelectric power density of 732.1 mW/m². Furthermore, the introduction of glycerin into the cellulose hydrogel enhances its mechanical properties and triboelectric output performance even under extreme environmental conditions (–24 and 60 °C). The A-GC-TENG demonstrates significant potential in various applications, including mechanical energy harvesting and conversion, writing recognition, wireless signal transmission, and human-computer interaction, showing great application prospects in flexible wearable sensors and self-powered electronic devices.

Specifically, a flexible room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber matrix was cross-linked with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) to construct an elastomeric interphase, while ZnO nanorods arrays were in situ grown to generate micro/nano-scale roughness and simultaneously act as a sacrificial barrier against external abrasion.

For SEKL, freeze-drying at –55 °C resulted in the highest charge density, water-solubility, and more uniform chemical structures. The sulfonic acid groups underwent alkylation reaction after the sample was oven-dried at 55 and 80 °C, which was accompanied by a reduction in solubility and charge density of the sample, as well as an increase in glass transition temperature. Furthermore, the sample after drying at higher temperatures of 105 and 130 °C not only exhibited the alkylation but also underwent hydrolysis of the sulfonic acid groups at the phenolic position of lignin. This change was accompanied by a further reduction in molecular weight, solubility, and charge density, as well as a decrease in the glass transition temperature. It was found that the alkylation and hydrolysis of SEKL occurred to varying degrees, and higher temperatures promoted hydrolysis.
