Photocatalytic Conversion of Waste Plastics into C 2 Fuels under Simulated Natural Environment Conditions
Abstract
Reported here is the first highly selective conversion of various waste plastics into C 2 fuels under simulated natural environment conditions by a sequential photoinduced C−C cleavage and coupling pathway, where single‐use bags, disposable food containers, food wrap films, and their main components of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride can be photocatalytically transformed into CH 3 COOH without using sacrificial agents. As an example, polyethylene is photodegraded 100 % into CO 2 within 40 h by single‐unit‐cell thick Nb 2 O 5 layers, while the produced CO 2 is further photoreduced to CH 3 COOH. Various methods and experiments disclose that O 2 and . OH radicals trigger the oxidative C−C cleavage of polyethylene to form CO 2 , while other investigations show that the yielded CH 3 COOH stems from CO 2 photoreduction by C−C coupling of . COOH intermediates. This two‐step plastic‐to‐fuel conversion may help to simultaneously address the white pollution crisis and harvest highly valuable multicarbon fuels in natural environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
