Photoreforming of lignocellulose into hydrogen

Abstract

<p>The naturally plentiful, clean, and sustainable biomass resource has the ability to partially replace the limited supply of fossil fuels as a feedstock for the long-term, sustainable production of high-value chemicals and fuels. Meantime, the straightforward, gentle, and ecologically friendly photocatalytic technique seems to be a novel line of inquiry for the conversion of lignocellulose into hydrogen and other fuels. In this perspective, the photoreforming of lignocellulose into H<sub>2</sub> including their fundamentals, some typical examples, and significant scientific discussion are rigorously examined.</p>
