Understanding the mechanism of catalytic fast pyrolysis by unveiling reactive intermediates in heterogeneous catalysis

The conversion of lignin by catalytic fast pyrolysis into useful fine chemicals is a promising route to fuel production, however selectivity and conversion are still not optimal. Here, the authors investigate the reaction mechanism by detection of reactive intermediates responsible for the formation...
