Abstract
Here we report the first heterogeneous iridium-based catalyst (Ir@Nb2O5) able to combine full conversion in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenols to hydrocarbons with appreciable selectivity for aromatics. With temperature and pressure optimization, and coking inhibition by selective removal of acid sites, the aromatic yields reach 69% under mild conditions.
