The large production volumes of commodity polyolefins (specifically, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly(vinyl chloride)), in conjunction with their low unit values multitude short-term uses, have resulted a significant pressing waste management challenge. Only small fraction these is currently mechanically recycled, the rest being incinerated, accumulating landfills, or leaking into natural environment. Since are energy-rich materials, there considerable interest recouping some chemical value while simultaneously motivating more responsible end-of-life management. An emerging strategy catalytic depolymerization, which portion C-C bonds polyolefin backbone broken assistance catalyst and, cases, additional molecule reagents. When products molecules materials higher own right, as feedstocks, process called upcycling. This review summarizes recent progress for four major upcycling strategies: hydrogenolysis, (hydro)cracking, tandem processes involving metathesis, selective oxidation. Key considerations include macromolecular reaction mechanisms relative to mechanisms, design transformations, effect conditions on product selectivity.

The combination of photocatalysis and biocatalysis in a heterogeneous fashion for enantioselective catalysis is great importance but still underexplored. Herein, we rationally design construct photoenzymatic platform catalysis, by mechanochemical synthesis strategy to simultaneously encapsulate photocatalyst WGL into robust Zr-based MOF. Due the rapid minimizing use organic solvents strong acid, fabricated photobiocatalysts show high photobiological activity operational stability, hence affording good performance reusability asymmetric Mannich reactions. These wide substrate scope (up 12 substrates) are first used N-aryl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline substrates, which have not yet been achieved photobiocatalysis yet. Furthermore, various characterization techniques unveil superoxide anions singlet oxygen as main active substances catalysis.

Abstract Polyolefins such as polyethylenes and polypropylenes are the most‐produced plastic waste globally, yet difficult to convert into useful products due their unreactivity. Pyrolysis is a practical method for large‐scale treatment of mixed, contaminated plastic, allowing conversion industrially‐relevant petrochemicals.

Herein, we demonstrate viability UiO‐66 MOFs containing coordinatively‐unsaturated zirconium nodes, effective catalysts pyrolysis that significantly enhances yields valuable liquid gas hydrocarbons, whilst halving amounts residual solids produced. Reactions occur on Lewis‐acidic without need noble metals, yield aliphatic product distributions distinctly different from aromatic‐rich hydrocarbons can be obtained zeolite catalysis. We also first unambiguous characterization penetration pores at pyrolytic temperatures, access abundant Zr‐oxo nodes within MOF interior efficient C−C cleavage. Our work highlights potential highly‐designable depolymerisation plastics, which complement conventional reactivity.
