Lignin has a unique structure and chemical properties, which makes it a suitable source for the production of aromatic compounds and transportation fuels. In our work, we prepared highly dispersed disordered MoSsupported on carbon catalyst by microemulsion technique and investigated the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of lignin model compounds.
