Ionic conductors (ICs) find widespread applications across different fields, such as smart
electronic, ionotronic, sensor, biomedical, and energy harvesting/storage devices, and …

Less than 10% of the plastics generated globally are recycled, while the rest are incinerated,
accumulated in landfills, or leak into the environment. New technologies are emerging to …

Human society has become increasingly reliant on plastic because it allows for convenient
and sanitary living. However, recycling rates are currently low, which means that the majority …

Over the years, the petrochemical industry has developed a plethora of polymers that are
contributing to the well-being of humanity. Irresponsible disposal of used plastics has …

Plastics pollution is causing an environmental crisis, prompting the development of new
approaches for recycling, and upcycling. Here, we review challenges and opportunities in …

The conversion of polyolefins to monomers would create a valuable carbon feedstock from
the largest fraction of waste plastic. However, breakdown of the main chains in these …

Selective upcycling of polyolefin waste has been hampered by the relatively high
temperatures that are required to cleave the carbon-carbon (C–C) bonds at reasonably high …

Originating from the desire to improve sustainability, producing fuels and chemicals from the
conversion of biomass and waste plastic has become an important research topic in the …

The widespread use of polyolefin plastics in modern societies generates huge amounts of
plastic waste. With a view toward sustainability, researchers are now seeking novel and low …

Conversion of plastic wastes to fatty acids is an attractive means to supplement the sourcing
of these high-value, high-volume chemicals. We report a method for transforming …
