“…As we know, the cell wall scaffolds of bamboo parenchyma cells consist of individual cellulose nanofibrils, which cluster into larger cellulose fibril aggregates with embedded hemicelluloses of high cellulose affinity. 33 These aggregates in turn are surrounded by further hemicelluloses and lignin. The latter two have no directionality and regularity like cellulose in the molecular structure of the compound, resulting in their morphology not as neat as cellulose and similar to "meat" on "bones".…”

Biologically inspired superstructural materials exhibit wide application prospects in many fields, in terms of mitigating increasingly serious electromagnetic (EM) pollution in the civil field. Here, we successfully obtain bamboo slices with uniform pore size distribution through the advanced bamboo transverse splitting technology developed by our group previously and prepare large-scale honeycomb-like carbon-based tubular array (CTA) structures with a controllable pore size, graphitization degree, and selectable conductivity property. Based on the simulation and experimental results, the EM shielding performance of CTAs is proven to be sensitive to the microchannel aperture size and the EM energy incident angle, which is attributed to the difference in the propagation rate of induced electrons in different directions. Among the candidates, CTA-middle-1500 exhibits the best shielding performance against incident EM energy with average SE/ρ values of 123.7 and 144.5 dB cm3 g–1 for perpendicular and parallel directions, respectively, showing its application potential as a lightweight and efficient EM shielding material. The predicted optimal incident angle for CTA-middle-1500 against EM energy radiation is 15°, with the largest RCS reduction value of 26.1 dB m2. The excellent EM shielding performance is attributed to the good reflection capacity involved with the high conductivities of the CTAs.

“…[81,84] 2-(2methoxyphenoxy)−1-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethanol (BA) and PP-ol commonly serve as the lignin model compounds, which could be easily analyzed and have simple structures. [58,85,86] For example, Wang et al reported that CdS NPs exhibited a distinctive ability in breaking the β-O-4 linkage of PPol in comparison to TiO 2 , Cu 2 O, BiVO 4 , ZnS, CuS, and graphitic C 3 N 4 . [30] Subsequently, Hyeonji et al reported that Ag 2 S@CdS enabled significantly enhanced conversion (nearly 100%) of five typical lignin model compounds with high selectivity towards cleaved aromatic compounds (Figure 8A).…”

Biomass with abundant reproducible carbon resource holds great promise as an intriguing substitute for fossil fuels in the manufacture of high‐value‐added chemicals and fuels. Photocatalytic biomass valorization using inexhaustible solar energy enables to accurately break desired chemical bonds or selectively functionalize particular groups, thus emerging as an extremely creative and low carbon cost strategy for relieving the dilemma of the global energy. Quantum dots (QDs) are an outstandingly dynamic class of semiconductor photocatalysts because of their unique properties, which have achieved significant successes in various photocatalytic applications including biomass valorization. In this review, the current development rational design for QDs photocatalytic biomass valorization effectively is highlighted, focusing on the principles of tuning their particle size, structure, and surface properties, with special emphasis on the effect of the ligands for selectively broken chemical bonds (C─O, C─C) of biomass. Finally, the present issues and possibilities within that exciting field are described.
