The conversion of poplar wood biomass to highly value-added chemicals and molecular building blocks was achieved by using the dispersed mixed oxide Zn 3 V 2 O 8 (ZVO) in water under 100 kPa of 10% O 2 /N 2 at 160, 180, and 200 °C for 4 h. This nanostructured mixed oxide was prepared via the precipitation process and then characterized by several techniques. The results showed that this mixed oxide has interesting catalytic properties and is a versatile catalyst for biomass delignification and lignin and hemicellulose depolymerization. ZVO exhibited high activity on poplar biomass delignification and fractionation (degree of delignification > 97%) and lignin and holocellulose conversion with high yield into aromatic and furan compounds (80 mg/g initial wood at 200 °C), with high selectivities for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) (25 mg/g of initial wood), vanillin, and syringaldehyde.
