The extensive production and use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have generated an enormous amount plastic waste, which potentially threatens the environment humans. Enzyme biocatalysis is a promising green chemistry alternative, relative to conventional fossil-derived process, achieve waste treatment recycling. In this work, we created biocatalyst, BIND-PETase, by genetically engineering curli Escherichia coli cell with functional PETase enzyme for biocatalytic degradation PET plastics. BIND-PETase could degrade generate products at concentration level greater than 3000 μM under various reaction conditions. effects key parameters, including pH, temperature, substrate mass load, surfactant addition were characterized. was reusable remained stable no significant activity loss when stored both 4 °C room temperature 30 days (Student's t test, p > 0.05). Notably, enable microplastics in wastewater effluent matrix. Moreover, depolymerize highly crystalline postconsumer materials ambient conditions efficiency 9.1% 7 days.

The surface properties of carbon materials are very important since many complex physical and chemical reactions take place on their surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) test is one the most significant characterization methods to analyze species banding energies for several typical kinds (graphite, black, graphene, nanotubes, carbides, polymers) were summarized with XPS spectra. It can be found that different preparation methods, analytical or storage times possess quite energies. Meanwhile, classical figures analysis results every material illustrated, which provides researchers an intuitive understanding related method. Therefore, much more accurate spectra obtained.

Since gaining popularity over 50 years ago, plastic has transformed our world, with many aspects of modern life relying on materials. However, the qualities which have made an attractive resource, such as ease mass production and advantageous strength-to-weight ratio, are equally responsible for damage that is typically caused once it becomes waste. In recent years, biological degradation emerged one way to address these unforeseen consequences.
