Woodceramics are new porous carbonic materials that can be produced using renewable resources and environmental wastes 1. These materials have several advantages such as lightweight, high specific strength, good friction properties and excellent thermal stability and so on. Woodceramics is widely being used in the fabrication of materials 2-4 , such as the woodbased high-temperature filter and catalytic carrier 5,6. Currently, the typical method of preparing woodceramics is to impregnate a wooden material (bulk wood, mediumdensity fiberboard and wood powder, etc.) with thermosetting resin (phenol-formaldehyde or epoxy), which are subsequently carbonized at high temperature. A bamboo-based wood ceramics was prepared from bamboo powder and epoxy resin 7 and a basswood powder woodceramics was obtained through phenol-formaldehyde resin impregnation 8. Ozao et al. 9 discussed the odorless woodceramics made from chicken wastes, whereas a laminated structure woodceramics had been studied by Sun et al. 10. Aside from consuming a considerable amount of industrial chemicals, these methods also pollute the environment because of their free formaldehyde and volatile organic compound contents. Corncob is a kind of agricultural residue. Many corncobs, which also serve as waste biomass resources, are discarded in the field or used as fuel in northern China. At present, there is still no report about the preparation of woodceramics from liquefied corncob (LC). In the present study, a corncob is liquefied and reused as biomass waste instead of phenol
