Synergistic catalysis in hydrodeoxygenation of lignin derived compounds toward higher aromatics yield was achieved over noble metal promoted Fe catalysts. The mechanism was investigated via a combined experimental and theoretical approach, and the principles learned were successfully applied in the design of Fe based bimetallic catalysts with improved hydrodeoxygenation performances.
