Abstract
Electrochemical degradation mechanism of phenolic lignin model compounds with typical C<sub>aryl</sub>–O bond in a protic IL-water system is clarified, including direct oxidation of substrates at the electrode and indirect oxidation by <italic>in situ</italic> generated H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.
