Closed-loop electro-upcycling of PET waste into formate and hydrogen <i>via</i> self-supported NiCo <sub>2</sub> O <sub>4</sub> spinel arrays
NiCo 2 O 4 electrocatalyst upcycles PET to formate (96.7% FE) and H 2 at 400 mA cm −2 , giving $774.56 per ton PET. Ni–Co sites cleave C–C bonds while limiting overoxidation, enabling sustainable plastic valorization.
