Development of inexpensive sulfur-free catalysts for selective hydrogenolysis of the C-O bond in phenolics (<i>i.e.</i>, selective removal of oxygen without aromatic ring saturation) under liquid-phase conditions is highly challenging. Here, we report an efficient approach to engineer earth-abundant Fe catalysts with a graphene overlayer and alkali metal (<i>i.e.</i>, Cs), which produces arenes with 100% selectivity from liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenolics with high durability.
