Electrochemical Degradation of Plastic Waste Coupled with Hydrogen Evolution in Seawater Using Rosette‐Like High‐Entropy Oxides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rosette‐like high‐entropy NiCoFeMnAlOx enable the electrochemical degradation of PGA plastic waste in seawater, coupling glycolic acid oxidation with hydrogen evolution. Abundant OH* species lower energy barriers for C─C and C─H bond activation, while in situ and theoretical studies reveal the catalytic mechanism.
