Photocatalysis is a green and sustainable technology that has received extensive attention because of its ability to utilize solar energy to address the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Water pollution is mainly caused by contaminants consisting of heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. Among these, organic pollutants possess high toxicity, carcinogenicity, and refractory degradation, posing a serious…

Only a fraction of the material that could be turned into new plastic is currently recycled. Researchers have now demonstrated how the carbon atoms in mixed waste can replace all fossil raw materials in the production of new plastic. The recycling method is inspired by the natural carbon cycle and could eliminate the climate impact of plastic materials, or even clean the air of carbon dioxide.
