Upcycling of Polyethylene Wastes to Valuable Chemicals over Group VIII Metal‐decorated WO3 Nanosheets by Qimin Zhou, Weiqiang Gao, Deliang Wang, Yinlong Chang, Hanxi Guan, Khak Ho Lim, Xuan Yang, Pingwei Liu, Wen‐Jun Wang, Bo‐Geng Li, Qingyue Wang

“…Herein it is reported that 2D tungsten trioxide (2D WO3) nanosheets, after decorating with group VIII metal promoters (i.e., Fe, Co, or Ni), convert high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) into alkylaromatics and olefins at low temperature and ambient pressure without using any solvent or hydrogen: 2D Ni/WO3 with abundant Brønsted acidic sites initiates HDPE cracking at a low temperature of 240 °C; 2D Fe/WO3 with low energy barrier of cyclization achieves a high HDPE conversion to 84.2% liquid hydrocarbons with a selectivity of 30.9% to aromatics at 300 °C. …”
