Electrocatalytic reforming of waste plastics into high value-added chemicals and hydrogen fuel

Abstract

The upcyclling of waste plastic offers an attractive way to protect the environment and turn waste into value-added chemicals and H2 fuel. Herein, we report a novel electroreforming strategy to...

Catalytic oxidation of polystyrene to aromatic oxygenates over a graphitic carbon nitride catalyst

“…(openloop recycling processes). In addition to the traditional thermochemical catalytic approaches, photo- [13][14][15] , electro- [16][17][18] catalytic approaches of upcycling plastic wastes have drawn wide attention. Photocatalysis is considered as a green and promising technique.…”

Amorphous-crystalline PdRu bimetallene for efficient hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis

“…1–3 Electrochemical water splitting is considered as one of the economic and convenient strategies to produce hydrogen. 4–6 However, this method suffers from high operation voltage due to slow reaction kinetics, so it is necessary to enhance the reaction rate and improve the catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Currently, noble metal-based catalysts are considered to be one of the best HER catalysts.…”

Analytical methods for microplastics in the environment: a review

“…For example, Zhou et al used non-noble metal cobalt-nickel phosphide as a bifunctional electrocatalyst to convert waste polyethylene terephthalate into high valueadded products including terephthalic acid, potassium diformate and H 2 (Zhou et al 2021). Besides, Shi et al used a Pdmodified nickel foam catalyst to upgrade waste polyethylene glycol terephthalate into high value-added chemicals such as terephthalate and carbonate (Shi et al 2021).…”
