Catalytic oxidation of polystyrene to aromatic oxygenates over a graphitic carbon nitride catalyst
There is a real need to create materials capable of plastic recycling and upcycling. Here, the authors report a heterogeneous carbon nitride photocatalyst which efficiently converts polystyrene plastics into aromatic oxygenates, such as benzoic acid.
