Recently, the English academic monograph Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioenergy Production (ISBN: 978-0-443-24714-9), edited by Professor Li Mingfei's research team from the College of Materials Science, has been officially published by Elsevier Woodhead Publishing, a world-renowned academic publisher.

The team collaborated with multiple scholars from the United States, Finland, South Korea, India, and China to complete this book. As one of the volumes in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy, this book not only systematically elucidates the structural characteristics and pretreatment mechanisms of lignocellulosic biomass from a theoretical perspective but also analyzes typical application cases of pretreatment technologies in the process of bioenergy conversion.

The book features a foreword by Professor Yves Gagnon, a renewable energy expert and the series editor. He highly commends the team’s innovative achievements and the effectiveness of their international collaboration, pointing out that this book focuses on the key technological steps in converting lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels and chemicals, and will provide extremely valuable reference for researchers and industry professionals engaged in biomass conversion.

The publication of this book marks that the team's research in the high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass and bioenergy has gained extensive attention from the international academia, providing important theoretical and practical support for the further development of bioenergy technology.
