The persistent accumulation of plastic waste poses severe environmental challenges due to its recalcitrance to natural degradation, requiring centuries for complete mineralization. Conventional disposal methods, such as landfilling and incineration, face limitations in sustainability and efficiency, necessitating the development of advanced recycling strategies. Electrocatalysis and photocatalysis have recently emerged as sustainable alternatives, enabling the conversion of plastic waste into value-added chemicals and fuels powered by renewable energy. This review explores recent advances in plastic upcycling through electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and photoelectrocatalytic processes, with particular emphasis on catalyst design principles, product selectivity control, and reaction mechanisms. Finally, we propose future directions for plastic waste reforming and transformation.
由于塑料废物对自然降解具有顽固性,需要数百年才能完全矿化,其持续积累给环境带来了严峻挑战。传统的处置方法,如填埋和焚烧,在可持续性和效率方面存在局限性,因此需要开发先进的回收策略。电催化和光催化最近已成为可持续的替代方法,能够将塑料废物转化为由可再生能源驱动的增值化学品和燃料。本文综述了通过电催化、光催化和光电催化过程实现塑料升级回收的最新进展,特别强调了催化剂设计原则、产物选择性控制和反应机理。最后,我们提出了塑料废物重整和转化的未来方向。
