Ambient-Pressure Polyolefin Upcycling With Earth-Abundant Catalyst.

Polyolefin hydrogenolysis offers a promising route for the upcycling of plastic waste, yet is hindered by the high cost of noble-metal catalysts and the safety concerns of high-pressure H2. Current systems typically rely on Ru or Pt catalysts to mediate key elementary steps, including H2 dissociation and C─C bond cleav...
