Abstract
Recently in <i>Matter</i>, Chen and co-workers proposed an efficient solar thermal catalytic technology based on elaborately designed multi-walled carbon nanotubes premodified with polydopamine (CNT-PDA) for upcycling plastic waste into high-value-added chemicals. Thanks to the strong local photothermal effect, the developed solar thermal catalytic technology exhibits a 3.7 GJ lower energy consumption and 0.4 ton lower CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in recycling each ton of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) than traditional electrically driven thermal catalysis. Moreover, selective monomer recycling from plastic mixtures together with outdoor work feasibility enables further promotions in the industrial and commercial fields and even the ultimate realization of global carbon neutralization.
