The upcycling of waste plastic offers an attractive way to protect the environment and turn waste into value-added chemicals and H fuel. Herein, we report a novel electroreforming strategy to upcycle waste polyethylene terephthalate into high value-added chemicals, such as terephthalate and carbonate, over a Pd modified Ni foam catalyst. This system exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity (400 mA cm at 0.7 V RHE) and high selectivity (95%)/faradaic efficiency (93%) for the product carbonate. Our work demonstrates a technology that can not only transform waste polyethylene terephthalate into value-added chemicals but also generate H fuel an all-in-one electro-driven process.
废弃塑料的升级循环利用为保护环境以及将废物转化为增值化学品和氢气燃料提供了一种有吸引力的方式。在此,我们报告了一种新颖的电重整策略,可在钯改性泡沫镍催化剂上,将废弃聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯升级循环为高附加值化学品,如对苯二甲酸酯和碳酸盐。该体系对产物碳酸盐表现出优异的电催化活性(在0.7 V RHE下为400 mA cm)和高选择性(95%)/法拉第效率(93%)。我们的工作展示了一种技术,它不仅可以将废弃聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯转化为增值化学品,还能产生氢气燃料——这是一个一体化的电驱动过程。
