Abstract
The Front Cover shows tree trunks as potential sources of lignin, an underutilized industrial feedstock, which can undergo reductive electrochemical depolymerization. By using levulinic acid as solvent, which can be obtained via hydrothermal processing of lignocellulosic biomass or paper waste, and a cheap and abundant metal as the electrocatalyst, such as copper, this method provides a straightforward way to depolymerize lignin. Thus, a wide variety of lignin-derived aromatic monomers and dimers can be obtained by relying on sustainable and biobased materials. More information can be found in the Research Article by M. G. A. da Cruz et al.
