  • The cleavage of C–C bonds in hydrocarbons is traditionally entrusted to precious metal catalysts, whereas common non-reducible oxides are considered unreactive. Now, the authors report nanostructured silica-embedded zirconia nanoparticles that are competent for the hydrogenolysis of polyethylene with remarkable performance.

  • Achieving plastic deconstruction with high selectivity is crucial for upcycling schemes, but remains challenging. Here, a processive approach for the selective hydrogenolysis of high-density polyethylene into narrow alkane fractions is introduced relying on a Pt/SiO2 catalyst encapsulated in a mesoporous silica shell.
