摘要
We demonstrate a new green solvent consisting of ionic liquid and polyol to achieve a selective fractionation of lignin from biomass.The lignin from corn straw is rich in syringyl unit and phenolic hydroxyl group,resulting in excellent room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)performance,antioxidation property and long-term photostability.Flexible film,fiber,aerogel and coatings with an ultralong RTP lifetime of 0.654 s are obtained.The lignin from corn straw completely blocks UV light of290–400 nm at an extremely low usage due to many p-coumarate units.When the content is as low as 1.54 mg/g,which is two orders of magnitude lower than the previous reports,the corresponding sunscreen cream has a super-high sun protection factor(SPF)of 183.9.More importantly,the lignin self-assembles into nanospheres of 250–350 nm,preventing penetration into the skin.Such easily-available,abundant,low-cost,safe and natural lignin provides an innovative avenue for sustainable optical function materials.
