A dual-active NiO–Ce1−xNixO2 nanocomposite for catalytically upcycling PET into H2†
Abstract
ANiO3 (A = La, Ce, and Sr) perovskites were innovatively synthesized for catalytic steam reforming of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) following non-catalytic decomposition. CeNiO3, featuring a dual-active NiO–Ce1−xNixO2 nanocomposite with moderate oxygen vacancies, achieved a high H2 yield of 54.58 mmol gPET−1 and a carbon conversion efficiency of 83.13%.
