Review evaluates acid-catalyzed biomass conversion methods, focusing on xylose yield and efficiency in various feedstocks.

The aim is to analyze feedstock-dependent reactivity and catalytic performance in acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.
Analyzed catalytic systems for biomass deconstruction from agricultural residues, woody biomass, and energy crops.
Correlated proton activity, reaction severity, and lignin chemistry to conversion behavior.
Identified optimal severity windows for catalytic efficiency in integrated biorefineries.
Established a structure–reactivity–performance framework for biomass hydrolysis.
Highlighted competing dehydration and condensation pathways that reduce xylose selectivity.
Provided guidance for optimizing acid catalytic systems and reactor designs.
