TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to reveal the HAA formation mechanisms from fast pyrolysis of four holocellulose-based monosaccharides, i.e., β- d -glucopyranose, β - d -mannopyrnose and β-d -xylopyrynose.

TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are utilized to reveal the formation mechanisms and pathways of 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and FF from two hexose units of holocellulose, i.e., glucose and mannose.

TL;DR: In this article, density functional theory (DFT) methods and analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) experiments are employed to explore the intermolecular interaction mechanism of lignin pyrotelysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-phenolic lignin dimer model compound with β-O-4 linkage, namely 1-methoxy-2-(4methoxyphenethoxy)benzene, was investigated by density functional theory calculations and confirmed by analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry experiments.
