A newly created photocatalyst has demonstrated potential in transforming plastic waste into hydrogen and useful chemicals, while also utilizing car battery acid. This breakthrough provides a sustainable recycling approach for polymers such as polyurethane, polyethylene-terephthalate (PET), and nylon. Lead author Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge describes that solar reforming technology leverages sunlight to […]
