Production of aromatics through current-enhanced catalytic conversion of bio-oil tar

- A new route for directional production of BTX was achieved by CECC of bio-oil tar.
- An excellent BTX selectivity of 92.9 C-mol% with yield of 25.1 wt.% was obtained.
- The synergistic effect of current promoted deoxygenation and cracking of the tar.
- Mild condition is useful for producing chemicals and overall use of bio-oil tar.
