Initial pyrolysis mechanism and product formation of cellulose: An Experimental and Density functional theory(DFT) study

Abstract In this paper, analytical pyrolyzer coupled with a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry set-up (Py-GC/MS) and density functional theory(DFT) theory was used to reveal the initial pyrolysis mechanism and product formation mechanism of cellulose pyrolysis. We demonstrated an experimentally be...
