Waste Plastic-Supported Pd Single-Atom Catalyst for Hydrogenation.

ABSTRACT: As worldwide plastic pollution continues to rise, innovative ideas for effective reuse and recycling of waste plastic are needed. Single-atom catalysts (SACs), which are known for their high activity and selectivity, present unique advantages in facilitating plastic degradation and conversion. Waste plastic can be used as a support or raw material to create SACs, which reduces waste generation while simultaneously utilizing waste as a resource. This work successfully utilized waste plastic polyurethane (PU) as a support, through a unique Rapid Thermal Processing Reactor (RTPR) to synthesize an efficient Pd₁/PU SACs. At 25 °C and 0.5 MPa H₂, Pd₁/PU displayed outstanding activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of styrene, as well as remarkable stability
