Currently, ethanol is produced <i>via</i> hydration of ethene or fermentation of foods. Lignin and CO<sub>2</sub> are abundant, cheap and renewable feedstocks. Synthesis of ethanol using the lignin or its derivatives is of great importance, but is a great challenge and has rarely been reported. Herein, we propose a route to synthesize ethanol from CO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>, and lignin or various aryl methyl ethers, which can be derived from lignin. The reaction could be effectively conducted ...[more]
