Abstract

The utilization of lignin as a fuel precursor has attracted attention, and a novel and facile process has been developed for one-pot conversion of lignin into cycloalkanes and alkanes with Ni catalysts under moderate conditions. This cascade hydrodeoxygenation approach may open the route to a new promising technique for direct liquefaction of lignin to hydrocarbons.
