Efficient harvesting of electricity, aromatic aldehydes and H2 from lignin over nanoflower-like cobalt-based bifunctional electrocatalysts
DOI: 10.1039/D5GC01934F, PaperYichen Zhang, Daihong Gao, Denghao Ouyang, Binhang Yan, Xuebing Zhao
A cobalt-based bifunctional electrocatalyst was developed for lignin oxidation and hydrogen evolution. By using a direct lignin fuel cell as a power source, co-production of hydrogen and aromatic aldehydes can be achieved without external electricity.
