Abstract

Invited for this issue's cover are researchers from Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech). The image depicts the lignin chemical evolution route from raw biomass through a greener chloromethylation procedure developed by the research team. It showcases the transformation into lignin-supported metal nanoparticles, serving as a catalyst for various chemical reactions in both batch and continuous flow conditions. The Research Article itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202301588.
