Frontiers in physical chemistry for lignin valorisation Faraday Discussion

The Faraday Discussions are unique international discussion meetings that address current and emerging topics at the forefront of the physical sciences.

Lignins are one of the most abundant components of plant biomass and new concepts for converting lignins into valuable products are important for scientific advances in biorefineries. However the structural complexity of lignins makes understanding their physical-chemical properties challenging.

New Strategies to Capture and Use CO2 as a Sustainable Carbon Source in the Synthesis of Value-Added Compounds

This work focuses on the development of sustainable strategies for carbon capture and utilization (CCU), a key technology for mitigating global warming by using CO₂ as a renewable carbon source.

Here we explored the role of quaternary ammonium salts in enhancing CO₂ capture and activation with NaBH₄. The presence of these salts resulted in both shorter reaction times and improved efficiency.
