is crucial for utilization of lignin and its fragments. Herein, we developed an efficient catalytic
system with well-dispersed metal nanoparticles supported on SBA-15 synergistic with an
ionic liquid. The catalytic system could catalyze the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of various
monomeric and dimeric lignin-derived phenols into the corresponding alkanes under acid
free conditions. The synergistic [Bmim] PF6-Ru/SBA-15 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium …
