Figure Abstract

Caption

Researchers have developed an electricity-driven catalytic system that converts lignin, an abundant plant-based aromatic polymer, into valuable phenolic chemicals and fuel-related molecules with high efficiency. By combining a Ru@Bi/N-C catalyst with a HPW-HFIP electrolyte, the system directs active hydrogen toward useful reactions while suppressing hydrogen gas formation, offering a greener route for upgrading biomass into sustainable chemicals and aviation-fuel precursors.
