Dual-functional lactic acid/zinc chloride deep eutectic solvent pretreatment: simultaneous production of antioxidative lignin and high-performance hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries

The recalcitrance of lignocellulose and the challenge of achieving high-value utilization of overall components simultaneously hinder the sustainable biorefining of biomass. Herein, a lactic acid/zinc chloride (LA/ZnCl₂) deep eutectic solvent...
