Abstract

Abstract : The Back Cover picture shows an ultrafast and low energy‐consuming biomass refinery approach. Efficient cleaving lignin–carbohydrate complexes and fractionation of wood lignocellulose was realized by the combination of deep eutectic solvent heating at 80 °C and microwave irradiation for 3 min. The extracted lignin fraction is of low molecular weight, low polydispersity, and high purity. The undissolved cellulose was easily available for further utilization. This work contributes to improving the economics of overall refining of biomass and developing renewable energy utilization. More details can be found in the Full Paper by Liu et al. onpage 1692 in Issue 8, 2017 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201601795 ).
