Abstract

Abstract With over 8 billion tons of plastic produced since 1950, polymers represent one of the most widely used─and most widely discarded─materials. Ambient-temperature photoreforming offers a simple and low-energy means for transforming plastic waste into fuel and bulk chemicals but has previously...
