Key Points

The aim is to explore deep eutectic solvents as recyclable systems for cleaving C-O bonds in lignin models.
Utilized DESs composed of hydrogen bonding donors and acceptors.
Conducted electroreductive experiments on lignin model ethers.
Evaluated the recyclability of the solvent-electrolyte systems.
Demonstrated effective C-O bond cleavage using DESs.
Recycling of DESs was successful, maintaining their efficacy over multiple cycles.
Illustrated the potential environmental benefits of using DESs in lignin processing.

Implication

Investigating DESs for C-O bond cleavage in lignin models, suggesting potential for recyclability.

Abstract

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), formed from hydrogen bonding acceptors and donors, are investigated as recyclable solvent-electrolyte systems for the electroreductive cleavage of C-O bonds in lignin model ethers. The widely...
