Highly efficient, NiAu-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of lignin into phenolic chemicals

Abstract

A highly efficient, stable NiAu catalyst that exhibits unprecedented low temperature activity in lignin hydrogenolysis was for the first time developed, leading to the formation of 14 wt% aromatic monomers from organosolv lignin at 170 °C in pure water.
