Abstract

No comprehensive review on the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to hydrogen is presented. This paper provides an up-to-date review on recent research development in biotechnology-based lignocellulosic biomass-to-H2 conversion. Bioconversion of lignocellulosic prehydrolysate, hydrolysate or cellulose to hydrogen was discussed in terms of the involved microorganisms and the bioaugmentation tactics. To achieve fully the utilization of biomass, the integrated approaches composed of coupled dark-photo fermentation and the dark fermentation and bioelectrohydrogenesis were sketched. Additionally, this review sheds light on the perspectives on the lignocellulosic biomass conversion to hydrogen, and on the scientific and technical challenges faced for the lignocelluloses bioconversion.
