Abstract
Lignin is electro-oxidized to commercially useful products using a binary transition metal catalyst. In particular, the transition metal catalyst includes nickel or cobalt as a first metal and any other transition metal as a second metal. The binary catalyst system prevents poisoning of the catalyst, extending the useful life of the catalyst.
