Disclosed are methods for preparing a lignin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber and for preparing a lignin/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber. The methods can comprise adding a dope of lignin and PVA or a dope of lignin and PAN to a coagulation bath containing a solvent comprising one or more components, wherein the one or more components are present in the solvent in concentrations based on the hydrogen bonding character (f) of the solvent, the polar character (f) of the solvent, and the dispersive character (f) of the solvent; and gel-spinning a lignin/PVA fiber or a lignin/PAN fiber from the coagulation bath. 1. A method for preparing a lignin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fiber , the method comprising:{'sub': H', 'p', 'D, '(a) adding a dope of lignin and PVA to a coagulation bath containing a solvent comprising one or more components, wherein the one or more components are present in the solvent in concentrations such that the hydrogen bonding character (f) of the solvent is between 20% and 30%, the polar character (f) of the solvent is between 25% and 35%, and the dispersive character (f) of the solvent is between 40% and 50%; and'}(b) gel-spinning a lignin/PVA fiber from the coagulation bath,wherein a lignin/PVA fiber is produced.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dope is prepared at about 80° C. to about 85° C.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dope comprises a weight ratio of 5-90% (w/w) lignin to PVA.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dope comprises PVA at a molecular weight of about 100-500 kg/mol claim 1 , and further wherein the PVA is characterized by at least about 85% hydrolysis.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dope is provided in a solution of about 80% DMSO to about 100% DMSO (v/v) in distilled water at about 60° C. to about 85° C.6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising conditioning the dope at room temperature for at least two hours prior to the adding step.7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coagulation bath is maintained at a pre- ...
