A method for co-production of monophenols and cellulose by transition metal oxide catalytic oxidation of biomass is disclosed. The method uses transition metal oxide as catalyst and pretreated dry biomass as raw material to obtain high purity and selectivity of monophenolic chemicals with co-produced cellulose under mild conditions.
