This process has the potential to alleviate environmental pollution and decrease landfill waste. However, the intricate composition of biomass especially the bonding of lignin with other cell wall components presents significant obstacles to efficient conversion. Ongoing scientific endeavors are directed toward refining pretreatment methods to enhance the separation and conversion processes, with the ultimate goal of advancing the economic and environmental feasibility of biomass as a renewable resource. This review discusses significant developments in biomass extraction and conversion techniques notably pyrolysis, which generates bio-oil, non-condensable gases, and biochar with up to 46.9% bio-oil yields. Furthermore, acid–alkali pretreatment has demonstrated effective lignin removal, with studies reporting up to 93.2% lignin purity and 86.6% recovery rates. Salt and ionic liquid pretreatments have shown improved hydrophilic properties and chemical composition of lignin, achieving up to 82% lignin removal. Additionally, the addition of ethylene glycol has facilitated efficient cellulose recovery, achieving 100% yield in certain cases.

Conventional lay-up design schemes employed for enhancing the impact resistance of composite laminates have been proven inadequate due to their inability to realize the prevention mechanism against asymmetric damage modes. Inspired by the gradient arrangement of Bouligand structure observed in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, such as <i>Mantis Shrimp</i> and <i>American Lobster</i>, this work applies the gradient-helicoidal (GH) design strategies to the fabrication of high-performance composite laminates. Notably, the out-of-plane mechanical responses show that the GH configurations possess enhanced performances compared with the traditional quasi-isotropic laminates. The difference in the regional arrangement of structural parameters alters the mechanical characteristics and damage mechanisms of GH configurations. Specifically, the GH-I configuration mimicking the dactyl of <i>Mantis Shrimp</i> successfully resists the damage initiation in specific regions under the short duration impact loading, which is reflected in a 52% improvement of the threshold force for critical impact damage compared to the inverted counterpart inspired by lobster cuticle (GH-II). It is a further proof of the predation strategy adopted by <i>Mantis Shrimp</i>, which implements a quick dynamic strike to smash the preys, resulting in a requirement for impact resistance. With prolonged exposure to out-of-plane loading, the GH-II configuration exhibits a 46% and 25% increase in load-bearing capacity and energy dissipation, respectively, developing the typical crushing mechanism of lobster claws that fully exploits the damage tolerance of local structures. These findings reveal the underlying mechanics of biological paradigms and convey that the GH design is a potentially feasible approach to achieve win–win progress in matching the demands of automotive battery enclosures, whether it is the requirement to reduce structural damage for impact resistance or to provide load-carrying support for the heavy battery pack.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
