Photochemical aerobic upcycling of polystyrene plastics to commodity chemicals using anthraquinone as the photocatalyst

Nikolaos F. F. Nikitas et al.

Summary: Since the United Nations set goals dealing with climate change, the chemical industry has focused on recycling already-used polymers, targeting the re-insertion of plastic waste to market via reforming. Upcycling of polystyrene plastic waste is gaining popularity in plastic upconversion research. A novel, green, organocatalytic and photochemical aerobic upcycling process of polystyrene to benzoic acid has been successfully developed and applied to daily-life used polystyrene products, resulting in yields ranging from 25% to 58%. Moreover, the upcycled product obtained from polystyrene materials has been utilized in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, such as acetylsalicylic acid.

Chemical Recycling of Polystyrene to Valuable Chemicals via Selective Acid-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidation under Visible Light

Zhiliang Huang et al.

Summary: This study describes a light-driven, acid-catalyzed protocol for the chemical recycling of polystyrene waste, which can convert waste into valuable chemicals under environmentally friendly conditions. The involvement of reactive oxygen species, singlet oxygen, and the potential role of an adduct between polystyrene and an acid catalyst as a photosensitizer are investigated.

Catalytic oxidation of polystyrene to aromatic oxygenates over a graphitic carbon nitride catalyst

Ruochen Cao et al.

Summary: The increasing manufacturing and the difficulty of plastic recycling have caused a significant amount of plastic waste. Current chemical recycling and upcycling methods have limitations including harsh conditions and poor selectivity. In this study, a photocatalytic method using heterogeneous graphitic carbon nitride catalysts is demonstrated to oxidize polystyrene into aromatic oxygenates under visible light. The dominant products are benzoic acid, acetophenone, and benzaldehyde when the polystyrene conversion exceeds 90% at 150 degrees C. The reaction mechanism involves the activation of polystyrene, followed by bond oxidation and further oxidation processes to form aromatic oxygenates. The development of materials capable of plastic recycling and upcycling is of great significance. The authors report a novel heterogeneous carbon nitride photocatalyst that efficiently converts polystyrene plastics into aromatic oxygenates, such as benzoic acid.

Diarylfluorene Flexible Pendant Functionalization of Polystyrene for Efficient and Stable Deep-Blue Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes

Ning Sun et al.

Summary: This study proposes a flexible-pendant-functionalization strategy to prepare a deep-blue emitting polymer material that maintains stability and high luminescence even after thermal treatment at 180 degrees Celsius in air. The dense and flexible interchain entanglement in the polymer helps disperse molecules and prevent external gas permeation, resulting in stable emission in the solid-state.
