reduced graphene oxide (RuMo/rGO) are prepared through synchronous reduction of RuCl3, MoCl5, and graphene oxide. The compositions, morphologies, and structures of the as-prepared RuMo/rGOcomposites are fully characterized. Their catalytic properties in oxidative cleavage of β-O-4 linkages in lignin model compounds and lignin are explored. It is illustrated that with O2 as the oxidant RuMo/rGO shows overall
