Polymeric materials, in particular polyolefin plastics, are an irreplaceable part of all aspects of modern life, such as medical practice, food packaging, and construction…

Intermetallic surfaces are ideally suited for fundamental catalysis science, where understanding electronic and geometrical effects induced by the promoting element on overall performance has been the goal of many studies…

The accumulation of waste plastics has become a global catastrophe. New chemical strategies for upcycling plastics into value-added molecules are urgently needed to address this crisis…

High stiffness and toughness, ductility, corrosion resistance, bio-inertness, high thermal/electrical insulation, non-toxicity, and outstanding durability, the possession of these superior properties resulted in massive scale production of plastic products…

Mesoporous silica nanoparticle is a promising support material for nanometal catalysts for polymer recycling. However, short-chain hydrocarbons may appear as by-products in gaseous form and affect the catalytic process…

Nowadays, there is no doubt that our society benefits from plastic products for a great multitude of applications, including manufacturing, food safety, packaging, transportation, healthcare, and scientific research. Geyer et al…

Plastics are omnipresent materials of the modern economy, combining unparalleled applicational use with low cost. While integral to the economy, these polymeric materials have significant economic and environmental drawbacks as they lack sustainable end-of-life solutions…

The exponential growth of polyolefin plastic production gives rise to tremendous post-consumer plastic waste and has become a global catastrophe. To address the crisis effectively and economically, large-scale recycling approaches based on catalytical reactions are urgently required…
