The increasing demand for renewable materials in the world has resulted in sustained efforts to utilize biomass in a better way. Lignin, a natural and abundant polymer in plants, has provided an ongoing challenge for many researchers seeking ways to better utilize this abundant resource. Here, we report a very efficient lignin depolymerization strategy with the assistant of microwave radiation. Copper sulphate (CuSO<sub>4</sub>) and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) were used to gen ...[more]
