Key Points

The research aims to enhance glucose production from cellulose through a cold base treatment.
Applied a cold base treatment to crystalline cellulose.
Utilized a carbon-based catalyst for hydrolysis analysis.
Investigated the structural changes in cellulose post-treatment.
Cold base treatment significantly increased cellulose reactivity.
Hydrolysis yields of glucose improved compared to untreated cellulose.

Implication

Demonstrates improved glucose yield in cellulose via cold base treatment, suggesting enhanced biorefinery processes.

Abstract

Hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose is an essential step in the second-generation biorefinery. However, the robust structure of cellulose I, the predominant crystalline allomorph in nature, has hampered this reaction....
