In-situ formation of Ag2O in metal-organic framework for light-driven upcycling of microplastics coupled with hydrogen production
Jibo Qin,Yibo Dou,Feiyan Wu,Yuechao Yao,Henrik Rasmus Andersen,Claus Hélix-Nielsen,Sung Yul Lim,Wenjing Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , a light-driven photocatalytic upcycling of microplastics using heterojunction photocatalyst was proposed, where a novel synthesis method was developed through in-situ conversion of unstable metal sites on bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOF), resulting in nanometer-sized particles with semiconductor properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6, was found to be able to use PET as its major energy and carbon source, producing two enzymes capable of hydrolyzing PET and the reaction intermediate, mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and chemical recycling of solid plastic waste.
TL;DR: This review presents a comprehensive description of the current pathways for recycling of polymers, via both mechanical and chemical recycling, and discusses the main challenges and some potential remedies to these recycling strategies, thus providing an academic angle as well as an applied one.
A bacterium that degrades and assimilates poly (ethylene terephthalate) and its enzymes involved in the degradation
TL;DR: A novel bacterium is isolated that is able to use PET as its major energy and carbon source and produces two enzymes capable of hydrolyzing PET and the reaction intermediate, mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.
