Photoelectrocatalytic Pathway for the Preparation of Power‐Effective Aviation Fuel Precursors from Lignin

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 7, 2025

Abstract The conversion of lignin into aviation fuel offers a promising, energy‐efficient route for sustainable jet production. key to this transformation lies in the selective hydrogenation lignin's aromatic rings, deoxygenation its oxygen‐containing and phenolic hydroxyl groups, cleavage bonds between polycyclic hydrocarbons. Using phosphorus‐doped CoMn‐P catalyst, electrochemical lignin, assisted by light, can reduce energy consumption ≈20%, resulting significant yield hydrocarbons cycloalkanes. Phosphorus doping modulates catalyst's electronic structure, enhancing adsorption β─O─4 bonds, methoxy thereby enabling with low reaction barrier. This approach provides an innovative pathway directly converting hydrocarbon mixtures suitable fuel.

Electrocatalysis: Prospects and Role to Enable an E‐Chemistry Future

The Chemical Record, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 3, 2025

Abstract Electrocatalysis is a crucial technology that will enable future low‐carbon chemical production and energy beyond fossil fuels. Notwithstanding the intense growing research in area, potentialities of field are largely unexplored. We provide case examples discuss emerging possibilities have still not been investigated enough but necessary to exploit this potential e‐chemistry. Starting from defining trends setting scene, as well clarifying difference between electrochemistry electrocatalysis, some elements vision foster innovation discussed. The aim stimulate discussion reflection rather than review state‐of‐the‐art. Aspects discussed regard i) passing electro photoelectrocatalytic approaches, ii) making chemicals air, iii) exploitation both anodic cathodic reactions, tandem/paired electrocatalytic iv) for selective oxidation mediated synthesis. Priorities strategies an e‐chemistry Intensifying these directions extending still‐too‐limited current including modelling design, effort accelerate realisation distributed

Innovative vanillin yielding from lignin: process modelling and assessment

Open Research Europe, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4, P. 5 - 5

Published: Dec. 24, 2024

In this work, we present the modelling of a novel process to promote vanillin production from lignin using PODIC®. The model includes PODIC® production, depolymerisation, and final product separation. Furthermore, complete assessment proposed in terms economic environmental performance was carried out. Regarding evaluation, comprehensive study done leading high investment (13.76 €/kg lignin) operational (5.16 costs. main reasons for elevated costs were identified alternative configurations evaluated. Despite this, result that is challenging commercialize. An analysis impacts generated by overall phenolic compounds out considering energy consumption, human health, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption toxicity. Electricity PODIC® reactor as hotspot system. CO2 emissions also compared with Borregaard found be similar.
