Dual Single Atoms Boosting Photocatalytic Upcycling of Raw Polyvinylidene Fluoride Plastic

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of plastic contamination, the Cu‐Fe dual‐single‐atom‐loaded In2P3S9 NSs photocatalyst was prepared for direct conversion of raw polyvinylidene fluoride plastic into valuable chemicals. The dual‐single‐atom catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total acetic/formic acid production of ∼1351.8 µmol g−1 ...
