Abstract:The cleavage of lignin C−C bonds is of great significance for the high-value utilization of lignin. However, it still faces great challenges due to the stubbornness and complexity of lignin C−C bonds. Herein, the cyano group with an electronwithdrawing effect is successfully introduced into the graphitic carbon nitride (BCN) photocatalyst by alkali metal molten salt methods, and it is labeled KLCN. Compared with pure BCN, the micromorphology and electronic structure of KLCN have undergone significant changes. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
