Hydrogen bonds regulation to enhance catalytic C-C bonds cleavage of polylactic acid wastes in H2O to produce H2

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how hydrogen bonds can be regulated to improve the catalytic cleavage of C-C bonds in polylactic acid (PLA) waste, thereby producing hydrogen.
• Investigation of hydrogen bond regulation techniques
• Application of catalytic processes to PLA waste in water
• Analysis of hydrogen production rates
• Increased efficiency of C-C bond cleavage in PLA with regulated hydrogen bonds
• Significant hydrogen production observed during tests
• Suggests potential for improved bio-based plastic recycling methods
