Hot Pickering emulsion interfacial catalysis accelerates polyethylene terephthalate (PET) glycolysis

Green Chem., 2023, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D3GC03125J, Paper
Qinan Chen, Shuyao Wu, Po Zhang, Xi-Ming Song, Zhining Song
A stable hot Pickering emulsion interfacial catalysis (HPEIC) system was constructed by a kind of asymmetric silica nanonets (M-ANNs). The system achieved 100% depolymerization of PET with a yield of PET monomer more than 90% within 5 min at 170 °C.
