However, lignin’s heterogeneous, amorphous structure and difficulty isolating it in high purity from woody feedstocks make predicting processing performance and carbon structure difficult. Strategies for processing multiple lignin feedstocks from organosolv, kraft, and other fractionation technologies into carbon materials, along with the relative advantages/disadvantages of carbon from traditional sources. Further, the influence of processing and lignin sources on the development of carbon structure will be addressed. Preliminary models for lignin-based carbon materials will be presented along with potential implications for their use in energy storage and beyond. Bio: Dr. Harper earned a BA in Physics from West Virginia University and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Washington State University in 2003, focusing on structural composite materials. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, WI. Dr. Harper joined the Department of Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries in 2004 at the University of Tennessee located within UT’s Institute of Agriculture and is a joint faculty member in UT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Since then, his research has focused on making new, high-value materials from renewable, plant-based sources.
