The applications of synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction ( XRPD ) and laser micro‐Raman techniques in an examination of the dissolution, transformation, and gasification of pure cellulose and models for biomass residue under hydrothermal conditions in a diamond‐anvil cell are reported. The results contribute to the measurement of in situ time‐resolved profiles of biomass reactions, catalyst stability, and residue formation that occur in aqueous fluids at near‐ and supercritical conditions.
