Kraft (Nano)Lignin as Reactive Additive in Epoxy Polymer Bio-Composites Open
The demand for high-performance bio-based materials towards achieving more sustainable manufacturing and circular economy models is growing significantly. Kraft lignin (KL) is an abundant and highly functional aromatic/phenolic biopolymer,…
The Laccase‐Lig Multienzymatic Multistep System in Lignin Valorization Open
Invited for this month′s cover is the work by Claudia Crestini and collaborators at Ca'Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and University of Insubria, Italy. The image shows the formation of low‐molecular‐weight compounds by the oxidative…
N-Doped Carbon Dot Hydrogels from Brewing Waste for Photocatalytic Wastewater Treatment Open
The brewery industry annually produces huge amounts of byproducts that represent an underutilized, yet valuable, source of biobased compounds. In this contribution, the two major beer wastes, that is, spent grains and spent yeasts, have be…

Precursor-Dependent Photocatalytic Activity of Carbon Dots Open
This work systematically compares both structural features and photocatalytic performance of a series of graphitic and amorphous carbon dots (CDs) prepared in a bottom-up manner from fructose, glucose, and citric acid. We demonstrate that …
Synthesis of Carbon Dots for medical and photocatalytic applications Open
Carbon dots (CDs) are a novel carbon-based nanomaterial that draws a great attention in the last decade. The easy way of synthesis and the cheapest nature of the precursors used, stimulate a lot of scientist to propose new way of synthesis…
