Photocatalytic Upcycling of Plastic Waste: Mechanism, Integrating Modus, and Selectivity
This review examines how photocatalysis, a process that uses light energy to drive chemical reactions, can transform plastic waste into useful products under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. Researchers compared photocatalytic approaches with other methods like heat-based and electrical catalysis, and explored how different experimental setups influence what end products are created. The study suggests that photocatalytic upcycling of plastics is a promising green technology, though challenges remain in improving efficiency and selectivity.
State-of-the-Art Achievements and Challenges in Photochemical Conversion of Plastics to Chemicals and Composites
This review covers photochemical methods for converting plastic waste into value-added chemicals and composite materials, examining both the chemistry of photooxidation and recent advances in converting plastic streams into useful products rather than disposing of them.
State of the art in the photochemical degradation of (micro)plastics: from fundamental principles to catalysts and applications
This review summarizes research on the photochemical degradation of plastics and microplastics into value-added products and intermediates via photocatalysis. The study covers fundamental principles and catalytic approaches for breaking down plastic pollutants that are otherwise difficult to degrade in the environment.
Building a bridge from solid wastes to solar fuels and chemicals via artificial photosynthesis
This review examined photoreforming (PR) as a process that converts solid plastic and other waste materials into hydrogen fuel and value-added chemicals using solar energy, combining waste remediation with clean fuel production. The authors assessed photocatalyst design strategies that enable efficient PR of diverse waste streams including polyethylene and polypropylene.
A Solar to Chemical Strategy: Green Hydrogen as a Means, Not an End
This paper is not about microplastics — it reviews photocatalytic approaches for producing green hydrogen and commodity chemicals (ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, methanol) from sunlight and water as part of decarbonizing the chemical industry.
