About the Journal

Introduction to the Journal Biomass Materials

Biomass Materials (abbreviated as BM) is an international academic journal focusing on "biomass materials science and innovative applications". It is committed to building an interdisciplinary communication platform for basic research, technological development, and industrial transformation in the field of biomass materials, breaking down barriers between raw material development, material preparation, and scenario-based applications. The journal brings together global researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to publish cutting-edge research results, discuss core technical challenges, and promote the development of biomass materials toward high performance, low energy consumption, and sustainability—ultimately contributing to the upgrading of green industries under the "dual carbon" goal (carbon peaking and carbon neutrality).

Journal Mission

Based on the global trends of resource recycling and low-carbon development, the journal publishes high-quality original research to systematically explore the resource potential of biomass feedstocks (including plant-based, animal-based, and microbial-based feedstocks). By integrating cutting-edge technologies in materials science, chemical engineering, environmental science, and bioengineering, it reveals the structure-property relationships, preparation mechanisms, and application values of biomass materials. This helps the academic community deepen its scientific understanding of biomass materials, provides the industry with green, efficient, and low-cost material innovation solutions, promotes the large-scale application of biomass materials in multiple fields, and builds a green industrial ecosystem for resource recycling.
