Engineering Fe Species on USY Zeolite Support for the Oxidative Cleavage of Lignin to Bio-Based Diethyl Maleate

The development of sustainable routes for polymer monomers is crucial for the chemical industry. Herein, we report a highly efficient and selective oxidative depolymerization strategy for converting lignin into diethyl maleate (DEM), a valuable precursor for polyaspartic polyurea resins. A series of iron oxide cataly...
