Lignocellulosic plant cell wall variation influences the structure and properties of hard carbon derived from sorghum biomass
Rana Arslan Afzal,Jordan Pennells,Yusuke Yamauchi,Pratheep K. Annamalai,Ashok Kumar Nanjundan,Darren J. Martin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the influence of lignocellulosic biomass variation on the structure and properties of sorghum-derived hard carbon materials was reported. But, the results were limited to four primary plant sections (leaf, sheath, upper stem and bottom stem).

TL;DR: Mild enzymatic hydrolysis has been introduced and combined with mechanical shearing and a high-pressure homogenization, leading to a controlled fibrillation down to nanoscale and a network of long and highly entangled cellulose I elements.

The biomass distribution on Earth
TL;DR: The overall biomass composition of the biosphere is assembled, establishing a census of the ≈550 gigatons of carbon (Gt C) of biomass distributed among all of the kingdoms of life and shows that terrestrial biomass is about two orders of magnitude higher than marine biomass and estimate a total of ≈6 Gt C of marine biota, doubling the previous estimated quantity.

Effect of reaction conditions on the properties and behavior of wood cellulose nanocrystal suspensions.
TL;DR: Increased acid-to-pulp ratio reduced the dimensions of the nanocrystals thus produced and the critical concentration was increased and the biphasic range became narrower; a suspension made from a bleached kraft eucalyptus pulp gave very similar properties to the softwood nanocrystal suspension when prepared under similar hydrolysis conditions.
