Lignin-derived carbon-confined Ni catalyst for selective hydrogenolysis of lignin toward aromatic-rich SAF precursors.
Lignin represents a promising renewable feedstock for producing oxygenated aromatic intermediates that can serve as potential precursors for subsequent SAF upgrading. However, non-noble metal catalysts often suffer from metal aggregation and active-site degradation during lignin depolymerization. Herein, a carbon-confi...
