Texas Christian University was awarded a $124,566 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to conduct collaborative research on photoelectrosynthetic aminoxyl catalyzed alcohol oxidation of lignocellulosic biomass. The university will study how a dye-sensitized photoanode can selectively oxidize lignin with a suitable catalyst as the first step toward a complete light-driven lignin depolymerization process. This represents a new application for...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $198,114 supports collaborative research at Michigan State University to develop a low-energy tandem process for fractionating and reversibly preserving lignocellulose using multifunctional aldehyde sulfonic acids. The research will test the hypothesis that aldehyde sulfonic acids can more effectively and selectively fractionate lignocellulose than current mineral/organic acid and aldehyde combinations under mild conditions. It aims to maximize...
