Turning dead leaves into an active multifunctional material as evaporator, photocatalyst, and bioplastic
Large numbers of leaves fall off trees each autumn. Here, the authors turn dead leaves into an active material which acts as bioplastic and shows high performance in solar water evaporation, photocatalytic H2 production and antibiotic degradation.
