Abstract: Sustainable bioprocessing methods have demonstrated efficacy in 
producing carbon materials, advanced fuels, and value-added products while 
benefiting current energy, economic, and climatic challenges. This study 
employs scattering techniques to understand processing-structure-property 
relationships of lignin-based carbon composites containing both crystalline and 
amorphous domains. Different lignin types are evaluated to relate materials’ 
atomic- and micro-structures and mechanical properties with biomass feedstock, 
extraction methods, and processing conditions. Small and wide-angle X-ray 
scattering experiments were performed to gain insights of pore distributions 
and degree of graphitization as a function of carbonization treatments. 
Moreover, physics-based models based on a hierarchical decomposition of the 
radial distribution function were developed to allow rapid interpretation of 
scattering data and reason on the contributions of crystalline and amorphous 
domains, as well as their interfaces. Pair distribution functions show changes 
in the material structure and support the observation that graphitic structures 
form and increase in growth size as temperature increases during treatments. 
Lastly, at USDA-ARS integration of biological and chemical biorefining studies 
are carried out for the design of chemicals and fuels. An extension of this 
work focuses on the development of new pretreatment processes of cellulosic 
biomass for subsequent enzymatic production of fermentable sugars. Self-made 
Na2CO3 is used in pretreatment processes for agricultural residues and energy 
crops demonstrating reutilization of captured CO2 from industrial fermentation 
off-gases. Advanced materials, energy storage, and biochemicals are areas of 
significance where enabling lignocellulosic biomass can serve in a variety of 
target specific applications.
