TL;DR: This paper extensively reviewed current applications of lignin hydrogel, including absorption, controlled release, smart materials for stimuli sensitive, biosensors and electrodes, and represents a timely review of this promising material.

TL;DR: In this paper, only 0.1 % graphene oxide was used to modify the aminated lignin aerogels and applied in the removal of dyes, and the experimental results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity and efficiency could reach to 113.5 mg/g and 91.72 % under the optimal conditions.

TL;DR: A low-cost and well-separated approach is introduced for adsorption pollutants in water, indicating a highly reusability and further reducing the cost of the treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a lignin-based carbon aerogel enhanced by graphene oxide (LCAGO) is fabricated, which achieves a water contact angle of 150° at 350°C for 2h, achieving the energy saving purpose.

TL;DR: A centrifugation-based fractionation methodology that was integrated with three types of organic solvents to fractionate industrial alkali lignin toward the fabrication of lign in microsphere provided a new strategy for the derivation oflignin as raw materials for value-added products, which paved a new way to develop a green and sustainable bio-refining industry.
