An efficient bimetallic ZnO/Co@N-CNT catalyst was designed for selective hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation of lignin and its derived components in water.
The use of formic acid leads to the complete decomposition of alkali lignin and affords high-yield aromatic monomers, while at the same time suppress consumption of solvent used for the lignin conversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
