Synergistic Effect in Au-Cu Bimetallic Catalysts for the Valorization of Lignin-Derived Compounds

The selective oxidation of veratryl alcohol as lignin-derived compound was studied under mild conditions, using Au-Cu catalysts synthesized from pre-formed nanoparticles with different Au:Cu molar ratios. Bimetallic catalysts show higher activity compared to monometallic counterparts, highlighting a...
