Molecular oxygen-assisted in defect-rich ZnO for catalytic depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate

Summary: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most produced polyester plastic; its waste has a disruptive impact on the environment and ecosystem. Here, we report a catalytic depolymerization of PET into bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) using molecule oxygen (O2)−assisted in defect-rich Z...
