•Significant elemental difference was not found among biochars from different samples.•Carbonyl compounds were the major volatiles of polysaccharide pyrolysis.•Aromatic compounds were the major volatiles of lignin pyrolysis.•Except lignin, lignocellulosic material pyrolysis was mainly occurred at 20...
