“…[6][7][8]14 The possibility of producing hydrogen or hydrogen-rich streams from lignin sources could guarantee a sustainable route for the production of biofuels. 15 For HDO of lignin compounds, various heterogeneous catalysts composed of noble [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and transition 14,23-28 metals, metal sulfides, 21,[29][30][31][32][33] metal phosphides, [34][35][36][37] and metal nitrides 38,39 have been introduced. A variety of model compounds incorporating hydroxy and/or methoxy groups such as phenols, 23,27,30,37,40,41 anisoles, 17,18,24,26,27,33,[42][43][44] guaiacols, 22,27,38,42,[45][46][47][48][49] syringol,…”
