Single step, one-pot, catalyst-free upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate into biphasic carbon dots and high-purity terephthalic acid
Upcycling of PET-based plastic waste into value-added nanomaterials via hydrothermal treatment. The process yields hydrophilic and hydrophobic carbon quantum dots as well as terephthalic acid.
