Both lignin and waste plastic are refractory polymers whose oxidation can produce feedstocks for the manufacture of chemicals and fuels. This brief review explores how renewably generated electricity could provide energy needed to selectively activate the endothermic depolymerization reactions, which might assist the production of hydrogen. We identify mediated electrochemistry as a particularly suitable approach to contending with these refractory, sparingly soluble materials.
木质素和废塑料都是难降解聚合物，它们的氧化可以产生用于制造化学品和燃料的原料。本简要综述探讨了可再生发电如何提供选择性激活吸热解聚反应所需的能量，这可能有助于氢气的生产。我们认为介导电化学是处理这些难降解、微溶材料的特别合适的方法。
