Sunlight-powered process turns plastic waste into acetic acid without emissions (phys.org) 1 points by westurner 4mo ago ↗ HN
[–] westurner 4mo ago ↗ ScholarlyArticle: "Bio‐Inspired Cascade Photocatalysis on Fe Single‐Atom Carbon Nitride Upcycles Plastic Wastes for Effective Acetic Acid Production" (2026) https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aenm.20...
