BACKGROUND The bioconversion of cellulose into simple sugars or chemicals has attracted extensive attention in recent decades. The crystal allomorphs of cellulose are key factor affecting cellulose saccharification. However, due to the influence of lignin, hemicelluloses, and different characterization methods in the literature, the effect of cellulose allomorphs on cellulose saccharification i...

The reaction of nano-cellulose and antimony pentachloridein dichloromethane gave nano-cellulose-SbCl5. Also nano-cellulose-SbCl5 has beencharacterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Nano-cellulose-SbCl5has been applied as a nano-catalyst for synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines from the simple on...

-l, Carbon-14 labeled cellulose was fed to rock ptarmigan to provide evidence of cellulose digestion and metabolism. Digestibility of cellulose and energy metabolized by ptarmigan fed a diet of 6 and 30';0 cellulose were determined by a feeding trial. 2. Recovery of t'~CO2 in expired gases from ptarmigan fed t*C labeled cellulose demonstrates the digestion and metabolism of cellulose by gut mic...

An earlier safety assessment of several cellulose polymers has been expanded to include cellulose itself and other cellulose polymers used in cosmetics. In general, these ingredients are modified cellulose polymers formed by reaction with the free hydroxyl groups in cellulose. The number of hydroxyl groups reacting, as well as the nature of the substitute group, largely determine the physical p...

In the coordination polymer, {(C(2)H(8)N)[Cd(CHO(2))(3)]}(n), the Cd(II) atom lies on a special position of site symmetry in an octa-hedron of O atoms. The formate unit bridges the metal atoms, generating a three-dimensional polyanionic framework. The disordered cations occupy the cavities within the framework, and are N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded to the framework.

In the title salt, (C(9)H(14)N)[CdBr(2)Cl], the Cd(II) atom is five-coordinated in a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. All three of the halogen sites show disorder as a result of substitution of Cl for Br or Br for Cl. Two of the three halogen atoms are involved in bridging a pair of Cd(II) atoms, generating a linear polyanionic chain motif.

A phosphite-based layered polyanionic material, Na2[(VOHPO3)2(C2O4)]·2H2O, exhibits a superior rate performance (?80 mA h g?1 at 10C rate) and long-term cycling stability for 1000 cycles 2C in Na cells.
