The adsorption of silver on lignin is of great interest for the modification of wood surfaces with antibacterial coatings. The natural precursors during the biosynthesis of lignin are mainly the monolignols sinapyl alcohol and coniferyl alcohol. These have been used as model systems to get a better understanding of the interaction of silver with lignin. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Metastable Induced Electron Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy have been employed during the investigations, we observed a formation of silver nanoparticles upon the catalytic decomposition of the lignin as well as its precursors.
