Exploring the Photocatalytic Cleavage Pathway of the β-5 Linkage Lignin Model Compound on Carbon Nitride.

ABSTRACT: As a globally abundant source of biomass, lignocellulosic biomass has been the centre of attention as a potential resource for green energy generation and value-added chemical production. A key component of lignocellulosic biomass, lignin, which is comprised of aromatic monomers, is a potential feedstock for value added chemical production. The cleavage processes of the linkages between monomers to obtain high value products, however, requires significant investigation as it is a complex, non-facile process. This study focuses on the photocatalytic valorization of a β-5 lignin model compound, a key linkage in the lignin structure. It was found that greater yields of aromatic products were obtained from the photocatalytic conversion of β-5 lignin model compound using carbon nitride (CN) whe
