| Abstract | Plant-based biomass is a potential source of fuels and valuable chemicals. Finding ways to convert biomass to fuels and chemicals could create value and improve U.S. energy security. Lignan is a major component of biomass. Lignan has molecular structures that are precursors to fuels, chemicals and materials used in advanced manufacturing. However, the catalysts that promote the reactions to final products are not selective. They promote both desirable and undesirable reactions. This lowers effic |
