Non-plasmonic Ni nanoparticles catalyzed visible light selective hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers in lignin under mild conditions

Light-driven catalysis on catalytically versatile group VIII metals, which has been widely used in thermal catalysis, holds great potential in solar-to-chemical conversion. We report a novel photocatalysis process for the selective hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers in lignin on a heterogeneous catalyst of non-precious Ni nanoparticles supported on ZrO2. Three aryl ether bonds in lignin were successfully cleaved under mild conditions with excellent conversion and good to excellent selectivity under visible light irradiation. We also used solar irradiation to demonstrate a significant reduction in the total energy consumption. The light irradiation excited interband transitions in Ni nanoparticles and the resultant energetic electrons enhanced the activity of reductive cleavage of the aryl ethers. Its application potential was illustrated by the depolymerization of dealkaline lignin to give a total monomer yield of 9.84 wt% with vanillin, guaiacol, and apocynin as the three major products.

Visible light-enabled selective depolymerization of oxidized lignin by an organic photocatalyst

The development of an economic, environmental-friendly and energy-saving process for the selective depolymerization of lignin is an outstanding challenge. Herein, a novel and efficient visible-light-induced photocatalytic process for the selective depolymerization of lignin model compounds and organosolv lignin was first developed by using perylene diimide (PDI) as a metal-free organocatalyst. Interestingly, it can completely decompose the oxidized lignin models to phenolic and ketone fragmentation molecules with very high selectivity at room temperature under visible light illumination. Furthermore, the use of a home-made photocatalytic continuous-flow reactor efficiently shortened the reaction time within an hour. Even for organosolv lignin, nearly 86% mass ratio of lignin was degraded to low-molecular-mass monoaromatic or diaromatic products. We found that superior performances were realized by single-electron transfer (SET) from the photoexcited strongly reducing PDI˙?anion to the ketone groups of the β-O-4 linkage in the lignin.

A photochemical strategy for lignin degradation at room temperature

The development of a room-temperature lignin degradation strategy consisting of a chemoselective benzylic oxidation with a recyclable oxidant ([4-AcNH-TEMPO]BF4) and a catalytic reductive C-O bond cleavage utilizing the photocatalyst [Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)]PF6 is described. This system was tested on relevant lignin model substrates containing β-O-4 linkages to generate fragmentation products in good to excellent yields.
