State-of-the-art plastic deconstruction technologies typically require noble metals, consume hydrogen gas, and generate waste methane. Now it has been shown that earth-abundant layered self-pillared zeolite catalysts selectively convert polyethylene to high-octane products without requiring molecular hydrogen.

层状自柱沸石将聚乙烯转化为汽油


最先进的塑料解构技术通常需要贵金属、消耗氢气并产生废甲烷。现在已经表明，地球上丰富的层状自柱沸石催化剂可以选择性地将聚乙烯转化为高辛烷值产品，而不需要分子氢。
