The Cooperative Effect of Co and CoO in Co/CoO Enabled Efficient Catalytic Hydrogenation and Demethoxylation of Guaiacol to Cyclohexanol

The selective catalytic transformations of lignin-derived phenolics into cyclohexanol provide an alternative renewable solution to fine-chemical industries over the fossil-fuel-dependent routes. Herein, low-cost, non-noble metal-based Co/CoO catalysts with oxygen vacancies...
