Biomass and Plastic Photoreforming for Hydrogen and Valuable Chemicals Production
摘要
Addressing the challenge of substantial quantities of biomass and plastic waste is crucial for environmental sustainability. The photoreforming of biomass and plastic represents a transformative solution not only for producing valuable chemicals but also for generating hydrogen. By harnessing sunlight, this innovative process can efficiently convert biomass and plastic waste into both environmentally friendly chemicals and a sustainable source of hydrogen. This chapter elucidates the general principle of photoreforming for sustainable fuel production from biomass and plastic waste, providing a comprehensive overview of the photoreforming mechanism across various photocatalyst materials. Additionally, the chapter highlights the future challenges and opportunities in this evolving area.
